When I looked at /etc/mysql/debian.cnf, my debian-sys-maint password was 
C1lO0oEdaJJZrCfZ.
So... I logged into MySQL as the super-user (root in my case) and set the 
password for debian-sys-maint.

mysql -u root

set password for 'debian-sys-maint'@'localhost'=password('C1lO0oEdaJJZrCfZ');
flush privileges;

That worked.
