I haven't read through the other replies, but below is the command to log in from a command line interface.

mysql -h <server IP> -u <username> -p

So if you want connect to a MySQL server running on the machine you are logged in on as root. Use the following.

mysql -h 127.0.0.1 -u root -p

For logging in on a localhost you don't really need to use the loopback address but it's good practice for remembering the command syntax.
