Probably, mysqld is not running. Try

ps -aux | grep mysqld

I get this:

[Mathew-Rices-Computer:~] mat% ps -aux | grep mysqld
mat    430   0.0  0.1     1416    308 std  S+    8:12AM   0:00.01 grep
mysqld

Looks like it's running, no?
No it isn't: there should be another match that is the daemon. The single match you got was a string match on your 'grep' command. Read the match carefully and you'll see 'grep mysqld' not the daemon running.

Get it started and then set a password with 'mysqladmin -u root password' and you will be prompted to set the password for root the first time. To invoke it afterwards type 'mysql -u root -p<your_password>' note no space between -p and the password! Why I don't know. that should get you started.

Try the sites below for tutorials or get a book on MySQL. Generally this list is for fink questions not MySQL support and MySQL is installed so the advice of this list is done now. Good luck.
