Excellent! Only, I never once set up a password for MySQL (this is a

I had this problem too. In my case, I restarted the mysqld and reconfigured
the password.
/etc/rc.d/init.d/mysqld reset
/usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root -p"yourpass"
the password don't have the quotes "".
So, you can set your password and rerun the oscar bootstrap.
I guess this can resolve your problem, but I don't know much about these
commands.
