To connect as the root user for MySQL if no password:
mysql -u root
to connect as another user
mysql -u username -ppassword
You can also specify a host
mysql -h hostname -u username -ppassword
You generally don't have to specify the host since the default will be localhost.
Note that there is a space after the u and username but not after p and password.
