Enter password: 

ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)

The password should be correct ...

Solutions

I forgot to type the following command first when booting. It's just a mistake.

$mysql.server start

. SUCCESS! 

Try again!

$mysql -u root -p
Enter password:
