Default How to DELETE the root password?

How do I delete the root password from MySQL?

I dont want to change it, because I know what the password is. I want
it delete it so I can run mysql -u root and get in as root without the
need for a password.

This is so I can install DBD::Mysql which expects no password to be
set for root.

That's not true, you specify the password like any other user.
