Try to do a login without using passwords:

mysql -u root  --- do not provide a password

REASON: by default the root user is allowed to login without password 
from localhost, even though you provide password.

this action, i can't login to mysql any more! I had also try to change
ownership of /var/lib/mysql and all files and subfolders within this
directory to mysql but still login fail!
-8

Providing a error message would be a nice thing to have when trying to 
figure out what's wrong

Best Regards!

if you can't get in with the root password at all...then you'll need to try
this-http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Resetting_permissions.html

What error is showing up?  How are you logging in, are you supplying the
password now?
mysql -u root -pyournewpass (or omit the password and let it prompt you)

if you are, make sure it worked correctly by tryng to login without the
password
mysql -u root

hth
