I just Install MySQL on Mac OS X.
The next step was setting the root user password, do I did the next:
1-Launch the terminal app to access the unix command line.
2-Under the unix prompt I executed the next commands:
madaura$ cd /usr/local/mysql/bin
madaura$ ./mysqladmin -u root password 'password'

madaura$ ./mysql -u root
, this is the answer:
