I have mysql installed on ubuntu. I need to log into mysql with root but I cann't remember root password.

so I decided to change root password. I start to do this job by these steps:

at this step I get this error

ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)

what is wrong here?
