Hi,
Most likely your MySQL has no password for root in the default instalation.
Try:
# mysql -u root -p
and simly press enter when asked for the password. Worked ?
Alright, so now it's time to give root a password:
# mysqladmin -u root password 'my_secret_password'
That's all that there is to it :)
