Your problem here is certainly because you are not
authenticated. A few notes:

 - Firstly, start and stop MySQL with:

     /etc/init.d/mysql start
     /etc/init.d/mysql stop

 - The default user in a new installation on Debian is
root with no password. Try logging in with:

    mysql -u root -p

Then press enter when asked for a password. You should
then be logged in and see a 'mysql>' prompt.


 - You should really install and use phpMyAdmin; it
makes dealing with MySQL much easier. :D
