First time you log in you don't need "-p" as there is no password to input
yet. That's your first mistake. "mysql -u root" would've worked just as
good.
To avoid problems, after the install is done just execute
mysql-secure-installation which will guide you through setting up the root
password.
When you run into this kind of problems you can just remove or rename
/var/lib/mysql and restart the service, it should "reset" you back to
square one. Of course, make a backup first!
