take a look @ your /etc/mysql/my.cnf file. there should be a username
and randomy generated password specified there that is used by debian
package system to upgrade mysql. I forget what type of permissions it
has, but you could try logging in as that user and attempting to set the
password for the root account. I have no idea if it will work or
not..but its something to try.
