there isnt one.. when you start mysql for the first time it usually tells you how to set the password with the mysqladmin command

mysql -u root password 'newpassword'

In my case that didn't work.

mysql -u root -p
Using password: passw0rd (with a Zero worked for me)

Hope this helps anyone that had the same problem as I did.
