I have installed mysql 5. It shows it is running. However, when I try to connect using the mysql administrator I get a connection error: Could not connect to mysql instance at localhost. Error: Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO) (code 1045). I've been looking at some of the forums and they suggest it may be a privilege access problem? How would I go about correcting this. I don't know any mysql coding yet, as this is my first attempt to get things going???

thanks for your help.
