You are logging in incorrectly  you should not include   in your login   So to log in  type   mysql exe -uroot -padmin   If that doesn t work  then you may not have your system configured   If so  then here s a good tutorial on getting started with the MySQL prompt  http   breakdesign blogspot com 2007 11 getting-started-with-php-and-mysql-in 11 html

To make it easier to invoke MySQL programs  you can add the path name of the MySQL bin directory to your Windows system PATH environment variable  On the Windows desktop  right-click the My Computer icon  and select Properties  Next select the Advanced tab from the System Properties menu that appears  and click the Environment Variables button  Under System Variables  select Path  and then click the Edit button  The Edit System Variable dialogue should appear  Place your cursor at the end of the text appearing in the space marked Variable Value   Use the End key to ensure that your cursor is positioned at the very end of the text in this space   Then enter the complete path name of your MySQL bin directory  for example  C  Program Files MySQL MySQL Server 8 0 bin   Open a different terminal and if you are using root as user run mysql -u root -p else use the a different username you created

The cd in your question is invalid  quoting it here because you ve removed it once  and it was there when this answer was posted    cd CD  MYSQL bin    You can t cd to CD   anything  because CD   isn t a valid directory in Windows  CD  would indicate a drive  except that drives are restricted to a single letter between A and Z    If your  MYSQL BIN is on drive C   then your commands need to be   C   gt cd  MYSQL Bin C  MYSQL Bin gt mysql -u root -p admin   If you re not already on C   which you ll know by looking at the prompt in the cmd window   or your MySQL folder is on another drive  for instance  D    change to that drive too   C   gt  cd  d D  MYSQL Bin D  MYSQL Bin gt mysql -u root -p admin   The  exe after mysql is optional  since  exe is an executable extension on Windows  If you type mysql  Windows will automatically look for an executable file with that name and run it if it finds it   Note that in both my examples of running mysql  there are no   signs  You should just use -p with no password  and wait to be prompted for it instead

Go to your MySQL directory  As in my case its     cd C  Program Files MySQL MySQL Server 8 0 bin mysql -uroot -p      root can be changed to your user whatever MySQL user you ve set    It will ask for your password  If you have a password  Type your password and press  Enter   If no password set just press Enter without typing  You will be connected to MySQL   There is another way to directly connect to MySQL without every time  going to the directory and typing down the commands   Create a  bat file  First  add your path to MySQL  In my case it was   cd C  Program Files MySQL MySQL Server 8 0 bin   Then add these two lines  net start MySQL  mysql -u root -p   If you don t want to type password every time you can simply add password with -p e g  -proot  in case root was the password  but that is not recommended   Also  If you want to connect to other host than local  staging production server   You can also add -h22 345 80 09 E g  22 345 80 09 is your server ip   net start MySQL  mysql -u root -p -h22 345 80 0   Save the file  Just double click to open and connect directly to MySQL
