The "user @localhost" bit suggests you didn't enter a username when you ran mysql. You want to enter something like:

mysql -u root -p

This will prompt you for your database password.

Once you're in you should be able to show your databases etc.

Next seeing as its a fresh install and you've nothing to lose in your database, you may as well just restore the cleandata:

mysql -u root -p[database-password] plain < [path-to-ezpublish]/kernel/sql/mysql/cleandata.sql

Should do it and restore 'publish' as your admin password.
