You should be using:
http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_on_ubuntu_-_packages

It too has the same section:
http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_on_ubuntu_-_packages#Ubuntu_MySQL_Security_Tweak

The tarball method of installation requires a level of system administration 
that many first time users do not have. Packages are much easier by 
comparison.

$ mysql -u root -p
[ I generally put the command on a different line, so it prompts you for the 
password. Otherwise, it may think 'command' is your password.]

If you have forgotten your root password, Tomas has already pointed out how 
to do that.


GPML,
