Alright guys, after reading, reading, reading and trying, trying, trying finally got mysql's password!

It's really hidden to me since I didnt know you have to look at the amazon logs and look for the application's password which is the same as the mysql password.

So the default user name is root and the password is in the amazon log.

1. Go to your amazon console and find your ec2 instance.
2. Right click on your instance to get the Instance Settings=>Get System Log
3. Scroll to the section that have this:

#########################################################################

# #

# Setting Bitnami application password to 'Rqwr92Xsaf142' #

# #

#########################################################################

That's how you get your root mysql password.
