Access only available as root

    Have just set up a new Kubuntu machine (18.04).
    Some how I've taken a wrong turn in setting up mysql and can only access mysql as 'root'.
    In other words, in Terminal:-
    :~$ mysql -u root -p gives "ERROR 1698 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost'".
    but
    :~$ sudo mysql -u root -p
    works fine
    Any advice welcome
