Did you set a password with mysqladmin? In any event, it looks like your
syntax is incorrect for getting into the database. You shouldn't specify
the password after the -p switch. By specifying the -p switch you'll be
prompted for the password. In other words, try this:
mysql -u root
If that doesn't work try:
mysql -u root -p
and then when it prompts for the password, just hit Enter.
I would strongly recommend setting a root password for mysql. See
mysqladmin for that.
