Did you install according to the instructions found in the MySQL manual?
After installing you should set the root password. Failing this will leave
your server open to anyone who likes it.. thats bad. You tried to solve
it.. but you just need to retype the password again.. (if I remember it
correctly).
You try to run mysql as root.. thats bad.. read the manual (www.mysql.com)
or.. if you compile from source you can find it in /path/where/source/is/Doc
You should also change the rights according to the info in the manual..
Bye,
