You're probably doing this already, since you read the manual,
but just in case:
Did you specify a name to mysqladmin ? MySQL uses an other
account database than your unix server, you know.
You would specify a name with 'mysqladmin -u root -p' where
the name after the -u is the user name ('root' in this case)
you want to use and it will ask you for a password because
of the -p.
