Stop the current MySQL server instance: sudo service mysql stop. Use dpkg to re-run the configuration process that MySQL goes through on first installation. You will again be asked to set a root password. sudo dpkg-reconfigure mysql-server-5.5 or whatever your mysql-server version. Then start MySQL: sudo service mysql start.
