Hi,

I know very little about mysql (postgresql is far better :) ) however 
your problem may lie with the /etc/mysql/my.cnf file, which contains the 
username and password to connect to.

Alternatively, "man mysqladmin" should tell you how to specify a 
username mysql understands (at a guess "root" may be an initial user)
