Did you run install_mysql_db before or after you set your root password?
If I'm not mistaken, install_mysql_db creates the mysql table, and inserts
a root user without a password.  Setting a root password before running 
the script may have no effect.  Try setting your root password after
running install_mysql_db, or try logging in as root without a password
(mysql -u root).
