On Ubuntu following works -

Run:
        sudo dpkg-reconfigure mysql-server-5.1

Now this will allow you set password for 'root' user.

Les assume you want to create user joe and create database joedb , want to
assign password 'joepassword'

Now login to the mysql as:


         mysql -u root -p'root-password'

         select PASSWORD('joepassword');
             -- Note down string that is displayed here.
        drop user joe@localhost;
        grant all privileges on *.* to joe@localhost with grant option;
        create user 'joe'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY PASSWORD  '.......';
             -- Enter password you got by running select password('joedb')
command where ... is

        create database joedb character set utf8;

Now you can login as:

       mysql -u joe -p'joepassword' -D joedb

Now you can use joe, joedb, joepassword in your settings file to use mysql
as backend.
