The best I've used thus far is PHPMyAdmin. It's very intuitive (the setup can be complicated with MySQL v4.1+, mostly because of the new password hashing), and will do just about anything you need to do (backups, exports, imports, etc.).
You do need a web server set up with PHP, so if you don't have access to that, that's a problem. But if you do have access to a server, I haven't found a better product that really lays it all out very well.
My 2¢...

Does anyone know of a good free admin tool for MySQL version 3? I tried
MySQL Administrator, but it only supports version 4 and up. Thanks.

Backup in mysql - response
Rahul,
If you are looking for Free GUIs for administering MySQL you could look at the MySQL GUIs on the MySQL website -
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/
Look at the Graphical Clients section - they all do the jobs they are designed for very effectively.
If you want to spend some cash on a solution then the EMS products at
http://sqlmanager.net/products/mysql/
are quite good.
Hope this helps.
