ERROR 2003: Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061)

1. Uninstalled mysql (I guess my first installation
was corrupted).

2. c:\mysql\bin>mysqld-nt.exe --install or run it from GUI.
if mysqld-nt.exe does not work run mysqld-max-nt.exe

3. Reboot (not necessary)

4. Now, check the task manager and mysqld-nt.exe
should be running at the background. If not, there is
something wrong with the install -- I believe
it was my problem.

5. C:\mysql\bin>mysql -u root mysql

6. mysql> set password for
root@localhost=PASSWORD("funfun");

7. mysql> update user set password=PASSWORD
("funfun") where user='root';

8. mysql> flush privileges;

Note that funfun is my password
