Problem with installing MySQL

I've just installed MySQL on Windows 2000.
I've opened the MS-DOS windows and I've written >C:\Programs\MySQL\...\bi=
n\mysqladmin -u root -p password mysql2010
After the enter the prompt says >Enter password: and I've given =
and I get

mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)'

After installing MySQL what do I have to do left?
Sorry my this is my firt time with MySQL

Thanks!

Don't add a space between the "-u" and the user name or "-p" and the password.

Example, use:

C:\Programs\MySQL\...\bin\mysqladmin -uroot -p mysql2010

Re: Problem with installing MySQL

If you want to specify the password itself on the command line use
'--password' (double hyphen). '-p' requests interactive password
prompt.

If you have not set a password for the root user, yet, then there is no
password. Leave off the -p option and see if it allows you to set it
that way.
