Sorry for the double-post, but I have to correct my previous statement. #29 did not help. What helped was logging in via the mysql console as debian-sys-maint and doing the following:
use mysql; update user set plugin='' where User='root'; \q After restarting the service using "service mysql restart", everything worked again. And yes, I do have to enter a password for root. It works perfectly. Maybe I'll run into other issues later, but I hope that this fixed the problem permanently. Phew.
