Stupid question:  are you sure the MySQL server is running?  That
sounds like a connection problem to me, not an authentication problem.
 IIRC, authentication problems give something like "access denied for
user X on host X".  If it is running, perhaps it's using a different
Unix domain socket?

See this link for a bunch of troubleshooting options:
