Ubuntu9.10安装MySQL后登陆报错，Mysql ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost'

Ubuntu9.10 刚装了mysql

sudo apt-get install mysql-server

安装成功了，安装最后要求输入了密码，也输入了，OK

mysql -u root -p

输入设置的密码

竟然报错了！
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YSE)

密码留空

ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)

于是重改密码！

# /etc/init.d/mysql stop
# mysqld_safe --user=mysql --skip-grant-tables --skip-networking &
# mysql -u root mysql
mysql> UPDATE user SET Password=PASSWORD('rootroot') where USER='root';
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
mysql> quit

# /etc/init.d/mysql restart
# mysql -u root -p
Enter password: 

mysql>

搞定！
