New user question about access rights

[Keith Brickey]

After installing mysql under WindowsXP, (logged in as Administrator) I obtained the following results.

C:\mysql\bin>mysqlshow mysql

mysqlshow: Access denied for user: '@localhost' to database 'mysql'

C:\mysql\bin> mysqladmin proc
mysqladmin: process list failed; error: 'Access denied. You need the PROCESS privilege for this operation'

How can I get access the mysql database and how can I get the PROCESS privilege?

Thanks,

Keith
