I had the same problem last night,
eventually grant all to root on *.* identified by 'yourpass' got me in
I must have mucked up the permissions at
(the problem was with mysqlgui not mysqlshow though)

Subject: Odd problem issueing commands at the console
Just installed 3.23.37 on Red Hat 7.0 from source. I've done this a few
times but this time I encountered a mysterious problem.
a) server is started and runs under my designated user (mysqladm:mysqlgrp)
b) /usr/local/mysql/bin is in PATH of both root and mysqladm
c) using either of these users, when I issue a mysql command (here
mysqlshow):
mysqlshow: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket
'/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (111)
d) when I cd to /usr/local/mysql/bin and issue the command as shown it
succeeds:
$ ./mysqlshow
