The MySQL users have no relationship to Unix/Linux users.
If you didn't already set the password of MySQL root user, then the
password is empty.
After ensuring that the mysqld daemon is already working (in Debian
Sarge, check using 'ps ax | egrep mysql' and if necessary, start the
daemon using '/etc/init.d/mysql start' ), modify the password by the
following command:
mysqladmin -u root password _newpassword_
where '_newpassword_' is a password which you want to use for MySQL
root.
If root already has a password, then consult documentation (basically,
the mysqld - MySQL daemon - has to be restarted with the
--skip-grant-tables option).
