now, How can I set the password for root? I have read all the message here, but no one can solve the problem, even the tutorial/readme file from www.mysql.com.

pls just assume that I have just installed the DBMS, and do nothing. what's the step to set the password of root on NT4?

step 1: .. step 2: ... step 3: .... step 4: .....

Step 1: Read the manual. Step 2: Follow the instructions in the manual.

Seriously, the manual does a very good job of telling you exactly how to do this, in quite a few places. For example, from section 4.12.4 ("Running MySQL on Win32"):

You should also add a password for the root user: C:\mysql\bin\mysqladmin -u root password your_password

The manual is your friend. Use it frequently.

Hope this helps!
