As a guess, I'd say that when you have installed the packages,when it
would have asked you to create a root password for MySQL you either just
hit enter (thus having no password!) or MySQL is only half configured.
As you don't have any data in your MySQL, if you open a terminal and
type... sudo dpkg-reconfigure mysql-server ... then just follow the
prompts.
Another useful package to use when starting out with MySQL is
PHPmyadmin, this is a PHP based web interface that you can setup on the
PC hosting the MySQL... then if this is on your PC the you access that
at http://localhost/phpmyadmin login= root password= what ever you set
it to!
