It sounds like you've _already_ set a root password, so you need to specify
it:
mysql -u root -p
With the -p parameter it will prompt you for a password on stdin. Supply the
root password and you should be in. If you don't specify -p on the command
line, it assumes you are attempting to gain access without a password, and
your security isn't set up to allow this.
This is a bit confusing at first...
But the security model in mysql is really very elegant once you understand
what's going on...
Hope this helps,
Geoff
