Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost'

In the afternoon I installed MySQL according to notes I had taken the previous time. When I ran

mysql_secure_installation

I discovered I had to use sudo. I thought I had forgotten to write this down. Next I tried to connect to the MySQL server as follows:

mysql -uroot -p

But I got an error: "ERROR 1698 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost'". After some Googling I learnt that the security model in MySQL 5.7 has changed and that sudo is required if you want to login as user root.

In the evening my mother spotted a calico cat. I took my iPhone 5 and tried to take a few photos but the cat was very shy.
