How do I set a password for MySQL?

I uninstalled MySQL from my system and installed WAMP to use its built in MySQL but I can't figure out how to set the password. When I first open the console it asks for my password. I just press enter and it works.
Now how do I set the password?

MySQL is documented extensively on the MySQL website.

I figured it out. For anyone else who was having trouble with the commands, I typed the following in after logging in without the password:

SET PASSWORD FOR 'abe'@'host_name' = PASSWORD('eagle');

Of course I had to put my own information in where it says abe, host_name and eagle.
