The root user is disabled by default. If you can log in to your Mac with an administrator account, you can enable the root user, then log in as the root user to complete your task.

However, when I try and connect to MySQL it always fails with:
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)
For example:
mysql -uroot -p
Enter password:
so I never the password that was apparently assigned at install time but I just get this error. I have tried the 'password 'reset' procedure but that has not resolved the issue.
What do I do now? MySQL appears to have failed at the first hurdle...

The user account named ”root” is a superuser with read and write privileges to more areas of the system, including files in other macOS user accounts. The root user is disabled by default. If you can log in to your Mac with an administrator account, you can enable the root user, then log in as the root user to complete your task.
The root user account is not intended for routine use. Its privileges allow changes to files that are required by your Mac. To undo such changes, you might need to reinstall your system software. You should disable the root user after completing your task.
It's safer to use the sudo command in Terminal instead of enabling the root user. To learn about sudo, open the Terminal app and enter man sudo.
