The error shows that the passwords doesn't match. You just must have
made some mistake when resetting the password. But this can be fixed:
1) You can start the server with the --skip-grant-tables option that
disables password checking, then you log in as root, set the password,
and the restart the server without the --skip-grant-tables.
or
2) Use the --init-file option to run a file that resets the password.
Bith methods are described here:

It is a rare occurence, but the problem might also be this:

Unfortunately, that is not the reason, why I get this message. I
have tried 'mysql', 'mysql -uroot', mysql -u root', 'mysql -uroot

When I am using the password option, the error message is like this:
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using
password: YES)
Any ideas?
Did you restart the server after you set the password? Did you
execute "flush privileges"?
Yes, I did, but it did not work. I have no idea, what the problem is.
And I cannot understand, why I cannot login after having reset the
root password.
