Looks good except for the part where you do the 'grant' command..

The best time to do this, is right before you plan on creating the 'eq' database.

From a command line (start, run, CMD), type:

cd\mysql\bin

mysql -u root mysql
(this opens mysql fully enabled)

then once inside mysql, type:

grant all privileges on *.* to username@localhost identified by 'password' with grant option;

(and change the username/password to be the u/p you choose when running winmysqladmin for the first time)

Then go on to create the database.
