If the root password has not been set, then you would connect by typing:
mysql -u root
without the -p it will attempt to connect without a password.

Can someone help me out with an RRAbuntu MySQL password issue?
When I put "mysql -u root -p mysql"
The system replies with "PASSWORD:"
Then I'm stuck. I'm trying to replace the hostname localhost with % on
the server so the clients can access the sever copy of MySQL. I've
already changed the bind address to 0.0.0.0 from 127.0.0.1.

I think what you want to do is just
mysql -u root -p
then enter the password when prompted. YLooking at that command line,
I'd expect mysql to be interpreting "mysql" as the password you're
trying to pass. If that's the case you shoud probably come up with a
more secure password. I suspect rather you're trying to pass the name
of the database to use. If that's the case, after you enter the
password, issue the command
USE mysql;
It's been ages since I played w/mysql so maybe I'm crossing some wires,
but I think that should get you going...
