Not sure how I did it, but I succeeded in removing the password for root. I can now connect to the database. But if I try to change the root password of mysql using "sudo dpkg-reconfigure mysql-server-5.1", I get :

stop: Unknown instance:

and another loop I can break with Ctrl+C. And the password is not changed.
