Attempting install of Apache2Triad on Win XP SP3. Got through the extract step & then began the Cmd Line white on black windows . It stopped on:

Setting Password to xxx( Mine ) xxxxx, using path C:\Apache2Triad
c:\Apache2Triad /mysql/bin/mysqladmin.exe connect to server at local host failed
error: access denied for use 'root' @'localhost' <using password: NO >'
Password for Mysql not changed !!
Automatically using MD5 format.
