I am really confused, I turned on MySQL for the first time and set the password using the ClearOS web page. Then click on the "Go". So then it kick up a login and this is where I have a problem. I tried to use root and the password I set and it did not work... So I went back to the ClearOS page and changed the password, this seemed to work, but I failed to login again. So I thought maybe it never took so just login with root and no password....nope. So I went back and tried to change the password again and I put the wrong old password in just to see if it would take, it came back telling me I had the wrong old password, so it is working, just not for me..... Any ideas?

Resetting the password for root for MySQL will break any applications that use this account. For this reason and other security reasons, it is best to set up applications to use a separate account for database manipulation
I was drawing attention to this warning... so if he had set up an application - the implications of changing the root password... -
