In kali linux mysql has no password by default, so you need to set the password for the first time. You can use mysql workbench to have a gui. MySQL Workbench is present in the repository

Then just connect to your mysql server without password and set your new password.

All the above worked ok, for me too, thanks !,
but after a fresh installation from ' kali 1.05 iso ' ,
you need to do theese steps before follow the above proccess :
1.
mkdir -p /var/run/mysqld
2.
chown mysql:mysql /var/run/mysqld

Try running
/etc/init.d/mysql [Enter]
You should get
mysql>
ie mysql prompt
You can enter commands without password. If you do get a password just type [Enter] and see what happens
