I'm trying to learn how to install mysql on my home PC. Could anyone help point me to some site where there's information for newbies?

Also, I managed to lock myself out somehow by denying all connections from localhost. Anyway I can get myself back in?
 
Try the main MySQL site - - for installation help.

To get back in to your MySQL server, restart
Code:
mysqld
with the
Code:
--skip-grant-tables
option, then edit the tables in the
Code:
mysql
database (or alternatively use
Code:
GRANT
), then restart
Code:
mysqld
normally.
