Tips for a novice please

Hi,

I am currently learning creation of dynamic content using MySQL-PHP.

I have installed the latest version of MySQL along with a GUI on my Windows 2000 machine.
However, the GUI asks for a password, when I try to run it. Is there any default password?

The PHP code I am using can't even connect to the database. I am only using examples from a well-known book. I think, it's again because of the password.

I would like to know whether there are any default username and password that come with MySQL (Just like Scott and Tiger for Oracle). Is there any good tutorial that discusses MySQL administration including user creation?

Any help will be deeply appreciated. Thanks.

I think during the install it asks for a password, but try root with no password or root with the password root.
