<MySQL_dir>/bin/mysql.exe for Windows
/usr/bin/mysql (AFAIK) for *ix like
YMMV

Run it with "-u root -p" and you can provide your password.
That's the problem with wizards and howtos, you gotta KNOW what you're
installing and how to deal with errors.

Probably reason of this is that you did not create configuration file.
You might want to use setup script
<http://localhost/phpmyadmin/scripts/setup.php> to create one.

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

It can't be more verbose than that...

So, you do have MySQL installed, you've setup a password for it, and
for some reason (probably a lack of a config file, as PHPMyAdmin told
you) PHPMyAdmin tries to connect to mysql without a password, and its
kicked in the butt by trying. You could try running the script it told
you (setup.php) to let PHPMyAdmin know that you must provide a
password to MySQL. You can also run the console application (mysql or
mysql.exe) using "mysql -u root -p", provide your password and login,
but that will not solve PHPMyAdmin, you MUST configure it. You can
also login and reset your password, so PHPMyAdmin will log you in
without a password and you can change your passwd from the Web
Interface. You can also take a look at the MySQL Manual for a way to
reset your password in case you can't login using console.
