Issue has been resolved. Thank you all. I dont know what went wrong but I think it was becuase when I was connecting as root
I ran : mysql --user=root and not mysql --user=root mysql after I did this I created a user and now that user can connect with a password. Thank you all for your help and now a computer society's web site has been born.
