The root Password will be blank after initial install.
You can set it at a shell prompt with commands something like this...
shell> mysql -u root
mysql> SET PASSWORD FOR 'root'@'localhost' = PASSWORD('newpwd');
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
mysql> EXIT;
Where newpwd is your desired password.
Best to secure or delete all accounts with blank passwords :)
You can then start MySQL administrator and log in using the username root,
the password you specified in the SET PASSWORD command and the host of
localhost.
