There is no way to lookup the password. It is encrypted. On many systems the root password is blank by default. On other systems you would have been asked to set the root password when you installed mysql. The password reset procedure is described here (http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/resetting-permissions.html).
