I installed MySQL on Linux.
I tried to login with: sudo mysql -u root -p
I couldn't remember my password. I followed steps from this link for resetting the password.
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MysqlPasswordReset
In this step "start the mysql client process using this command" after entering this command:
"mysql -u root"
I get this error:
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)

How can I fix this?
