$ mysql -u david -p
<type your password>

See how it goes. If you haven't set the user, then re-configure mysql
to use one (iirc, by default, it has a root user. if it doesn't then
just do as 'dpkg-reconfigure mysql-server' as root). If it still
doesn't like it, try edting my.cnf (resides somewhere in /etc
directory) directly - http://www.modwest.com/help/kb6-242.html
