ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket

Now, I've read reference indicating that first the password must be set.
This isn't the password for the root account, nor for a user account on
the local system, but a password for the database, yes?
RTFM, I know, I'm going to the library first chance I can.
