Error logging in to mysql

[Vinay Nagrik]

Dear list,

I have downloaded and installed mysql database and finding difficulty in the
very first step.  I am logged on as 'administrator' on my machine and have a
password assigned to me.

I can ensure through 'Microsoft services' that mySQL database is running and
I do get the prompt on 'mysql' after typing in the same command.

However when I type

mysql > mysql -p

The screen does not show

"Enter Password"

Also when I type the command ' show databases'.  It shows following
databases "Without my being logged in"

+--------------------+
| Database           |
+--------------------+
| information_schema |
| test               |
+--------------------+
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)

Can someone please take me pass the logging in command.  I, as an
administrator want to create more users for mysql database.

For some this must be a trivial problem.  Thanks in advance.
