The one that you used when you set it, as you say you did three sentences
ago. In your list below, this would be the MySQL root user. Login account
passwords don't have anything to do with MySQL accounts.

Looks like you don't remember the password that you used when you set it.
Kill the server (kill -9), bring it back up with -S (skip grant tables)
so that you can reset the root password:
UPDATE user SET Password=PASSWORD('new-password')
WHERE User='root' AND Host='localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Then bring the server down and again and restart it normally.
