After mysql is started, you can setup root password as follow:
#mysqladmin -u root password <your root password>;

我用的是4.0.5-beta-max,当Setup.exe之后，在命令提示符下进入到d:\mysql\bin，怎么就进去不了mysql>;,此时如您所说运行#mysqladmin -u root password <my root password>; 也不OK啊！！乍办呢？

Hi, xiaopan861,
1,Can you post the error message? or detail information?
2,I use mysql on linux, but not window. Maybe, you can try this way:
$mysql -u root mysql
mysql>;UPDATE user SET Password=PASSWORD("your password"
         >;WHERE User="root";
$mysqladmin -u root status
$mysqladmin -u root reload
