Description:
This is not a serious bug.
Using systems with sudo enabled (ie. ubuntu) it may happen that more than one password is required in sequence, the system user password and then the mysql user password.
It happens often to me that I don't know exactly which password is required, because I can or not be in sudo's 'grace period'.

How to repeat:
At command line:
>sudo /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql -u root -p
>Password:                      <- this is user password
>Enter password:                <- this is MySqlpassword
...

Suggested fix:
Change the message "Enter password:" to "Enter MySql user password:" or anything similar that contains a reference to mysql. 
This could be done even on system user request (but it's for another bug tracker :-))
