I'm trying to reinstall mysql on my MAC OS X Yosemite. for this I followed the instruction as mentioned below
sudo rm /usr/local/mysql
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/mysql*
sudo rm -rf /Library/StartupItems/MySQLCOM
sudo rm -rf /Library/PreferencePanes/MySQL*
vim /etc/hostconfig and removed the line MYSQLCOM=-YES-
rm -rf ~/Library/PreferencePanes/MySQL*
sudo rm -rf /Library/Receipts/mysql*
sudo rm -rf /Library/Receipts/MySQL*
sudo rm -rf /var/db/receipts/com.mysql.*
I also tried
brew uninstall mysql
after this I installed mysql using homebrew using command brew install mysql.
After installation when I tried to run mysql -u root It throws the following error
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using
password: NO)
I didn't set password for mysql.I don't know what's going wrong.Any suggestion will be appreciated. Thank you

I installed mysql with homebrew and got the same problem as you because mysql has had an existing database with an existing password there. See this article for more details.
$ brew services stop mysql
$ pkill mysqld
$ rm -rf /usr/local/var/mysql/ # NOTE: this will delete your existing database!!!
$ brew postinstall mysql
$ brew services restart mysql
$ mysql -uroot
