You do not need to login.
By default the mysql root user password is null.
Just press <enter> when it asks you for your password and you will login just fine.
If you want to set a password you do this...
get into mysql console..
type: USE mysql;
type: UPDATE user SET Password=PASSWORD('yournewpassword') WHERE User='root';
type: FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
now you can logout of mysql and then when you open the mysql console again you will need to use that new password to login
