CMD problem

[Avlast]

CMD doesn't go to C:

Hey everyone. Newbie here.
I decided to install a local server on my computer, so I could effectively learn PHP. When I started CMD to do a password, heres the result I got.

Any ideas to solve this?

cd ..

cd ..

cd mysql/bin

Yes.. you must leave the space between the cd & ..

Then ...

mysql -uroot (if this is a new install, root will be open to all).

At the mysql> prompt:

set password for root@localhost = PASSWORD ("passwordforyourchosing");

Replace passwordforyourchosing with a password for your root SQL user (which you should NEVER use to connect to db's. Only ever use the root account to create new db's & administer privileges).

Then type:

exit;

and it will say "bye" and you are returned to the C:/mysql/bin prompt.
----

To check it's working properly..

mysql -uroot -p

and it will ask you for your password
