A brand new installation has no password set, therefore you do not need -p
so your command should be exactly as I've already given you. Of course you
add your-brand-new-password after the word password.
If that still doesn't work, you can stop the server, delete the privileges
database, rerun mysql_install_db and try setting the password again.
or
restart the server with the skip grants option, set the password (don't
forget to flush privileges), then restart the server as normal.
How to do all this is explained in the manual.
