did u already set a root account for mysql? the mysql 'root@localhost' is not the same as your unix root - u have to add the username(root) the box (localhost) and optionally a password (very recommended) in mysql

detailed instructions on how to do that are in the MySQL manual, which can be downloaded at the mysql homepage...

hmm - thats strange - i think there is a password recovery procedure in the manual - u could try that...

and u can try to do it via the mysql shell directly not via mysqladmin...perhaps u can find details on the error in the logs...
