The MySQL directory `${MYSQL_DATADIR}' should be owned by the user
`${MYSQL_USER}' and group `${MYSQL_GROUP}'.  This can be done with:

  chown -R ${MYSQL_USER}:${MYSQL_GROUP} ${MYSQL_DATADIR}

If this is a new installation, please remember to set a password for
the MySQL root user!  This is done by running both:

  ${PREFIX}/bin/mysqladmin -u root -p password 'new-password'
  ${PREFIX}/bin/mysqladmin -h `hostname` -u root -p password 'new-password'

The "Enter password:" prompt is asking for the existing password.
As there is no existing password, just press the Return key.

There is a script distributed with MySQL that can help you lock down
an installation.  This script has been installed to

  ${PREFIX}/bin/mysql_secure_installation.

Please see the manual and the MySQL web site for more instructions.
