you should type in:
mysql -u root -p
then you'll be asked for a password.

mysql> SET PASSWORD FOR 'root'@'linux' = PASSWORD('mary');
Error 1133 (42000) : Can't find any matching row in the user table

I get the above Error message, what does it mean? What table? Where?

Internally, MySQL uses a special set of (otherwise ordinary) tables to store much of its configuration information, including user names and passwords. The table that holds that information is what it's referring to.

Have you already created the user 'mary'? You must first create each user with the GRANT command.

When I was starting out, I found the "MySQL Tutorial" (<http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0672325845>) to have about the right level of detail and scope to get me going. If your needs are more sophisticated, then the "MySQL Administrator's Manual" (<http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0672326345>) might be more appropriate.

'mary' is example of a PASSWORD.
The computer hostname in Suse is 'linux' , that's why I put in [EMAIL PROTECTED]
