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.
