Answer 1

TO check if mysql has a password, go to the directory where you installed mysql, and in the bin directory try to bring up mysql prompt using

./mysql –u root mysql

If the login goes through without any problem, it means no password is set.
You can use mysqadmin script to set/reset password.

./mysqladmin –u root password "password string"
