cat /etc/mysql/debian.cnf
[...]
user = debian-sys-maint
password = bodCNLUx0GGYm6F

Logon:

mysql -u root -p

Execute:

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'debian-sys-maint'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'bodCNLUx0GGYm6F' WITH GRANT OPTION;

By the way set a new root passwort:

mysqladmin -u root password 'new-password'
