If you lost track of the password set up by installation, then stop the server, restart it in a command window with ...

<MYSQL_HOME>\bin\mysqld --defaults-file="<MYSQL_HOME>\my.ini" --console –-skip-grant-tables

... where <MYSQL_HOME> is the path to your installation, then follow the steps in "Reset ‘root’ password" at http://www.artfulsoftware.com/infotree/mysqltips.php to set the password to something you can remember, test it, stop the server, start it normally.
