the mysql_install_db doesn't ask for anything and will recreate
the database and tables that mysql uses to manage access. It will
create them from _scratch_ so the root password will be null. And
granted access will have to be re-added.
mysql is designed so that you can't just bypass the root password
without already having system-level access to mysql's access database
Without this design consideration, what would be the point of a mysql
root password in the first place?
Why doesn't the system root password work? Why should it? It would
require mysql to run with greater privs. than it needs to function as
a database server.

what command did you use to change the password to the "virgin"
password. and what command are you now using to try to get access?
