In the Linux source download there is also a script to reset the user and
password, which was root and no password.
Hope it helps ;-)

Subject: installing mysql(password??)
when you first install mysql server does it assign a default password
becuase it tells me to enter these in to make a password for my server,
but I don't know what the heck to do with them, but when I try them it
says access denied
/usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root -p password 'new-password'
/usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root -h Precious -p password 'new-password'
