This isn't an RT error as such. The error being reported here is saying that the mysql database user root has the incorrect password, therefore the initialize-database script is unable to log into your MySQL database and create the database structure and initial inserts.
Check your root password for MySQL. Can you log into MySQL?
If you can log into MySQL with the mysql root user, but need to specify a password to do so, then you need to put this into your RT_SiteConfig.pm and then re-run the make initialize-database.
I seem to recall you also need to create the initial rt table for MySQL RT databases, but as I'm not using MySQL I can't confirm.
