I am new at this also... there seems to be a couple of ways to do it.
First I believe that if you are in a windows environment you can go to the c:\window directory and you will find a my.ini file. When you restart your computer this file will be read and the database will mount... you will see a green light on the bottom right of your screen. You can then go to c:\mysql\bin and typ mysql ... you should be able to log right in since the default user is root. Then type show database; and then use <databasename>, then show tables then use <table_name>
I suggest you also to to Navicat's web page and you download their free 30 day trial admin software for MYSQL ... it is pretty cool and it will recognize your vesion of MYSQL. Through there you can manage the user account and rights in the meantime while you can catch up on the syntax to adding users and adding privilidges.
You can also got to c:\mysql\bin and type mysql -h<localhost> -u<username> -p and hit enter ... you will then be prompted to enter your password.
Again Iam very new at this so I hope that other more seasoned users reply with a better explanation

That's the source package you are after downloading. What you need is the binary package. When you have that installed, you could have a look at the recent thread "Can't start MySQL"
