Sql install error

[bizzare]

I would like some help regarding the start at the DOS prompt.
I have done a basic install but when I type mysql at the DOS prompt I get a "You do not have permission error, cannot logon as local host"

The SQL server is on the same machine as the installation

TRY THIS
Try mysql -u root -p
ENTER

As far as i know, mysql ships with a blank password for M$ users. The first thing is to change the root pw.
