Normally when you log in you would type:
->mysql -u username -p [Enter]
It would then prompt you for a password if you have one.
(By the way, substitute "username" with your username.)
It shouldn't matter what prompt you're in, root, etc.

Subject: newbie grant problems
Hello all I am very new to this so please have patience with this
question.
I have recently installed mysql on debian potato and after installing I
was able to get a mysql prompt by typing mysql at the normal; user prompt
(not root) I thought that this was good. However I now get
ERROR 1045: access denied for user: 'root@localhost' (Using password: (NO)
when I try typing mysql at the root prompt. I have read the manual but as
yet
have not managed to set any grant tables can anyone point me in the right
direction
Many thanks
