root login failing??? why?  anonymus failing too??

I just installed the following on Win2k Server:
Ver 8.23 Distrib 3.23.47, for Win95/Win98 on i32
Server version          3.23.47-max-nt

Install goes seemingly ok.  I test whether or not MySQL is working and have 
problem with this command below...

C:\mysql\bin>mysqlshow -u root mysql
mysqlshow: Access denied for user: 'root@localhost' (Using password: NO)

C:\mysql\bin>mysql mysql
ERROR 1044: Access denied for user: '@localhost' to database 'mysql'

C:\mysql\bin\mysql test  (this works ok)
