-p is not needed because it is a brand new installation and brand new
installations do have a password set.

Again -p is not needed until a password has been set. Depends on what you
are using as hostxxx. If you're on the local machine where the mysql server
resides, you don't really need -h or you could use localhost or 127.0.0.1
