Installed but Cannot Create User

Hi,

I have just installed the latest version of MySQL and to be frank the interface is not what I expected.  I need to create a user so I can use a GUI interface I have downlooaded which I can then use as normal.  The command line interface is something I am not familiar with.

Can anyone tell me how to create a new user with password so I can access the server and start creating databases.

Thanks in advance

I get this

1045
#28000Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)

Windows System
I am using MySQL Turbo Manager
I have used it before and it does everything, lol when I can use it
got it, root was right, but I did create a password. Thanks again
That's strange. Normally with installation user root is created with an empty password except when you installed it with the installer and gave the root account a password already.

Do you remember if you had to give a password when installing MySQL?
Oops, didn't see you already solved it.
Great for you.
Have fun
