mysql newbie problem: Error 1045 (28000)

Tried to install mysql Community Edition on my PC just now and encountered the error message as shown in the screenshot below:

Error 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root@'localhost' (using password: NO)

The command-line tool will prompt you for your root password and once you supply the matching password, you will see the log-in screen as below:
