I am using WinXP.I am wanted to shutdown MySQL service from the command line and ran the command "mysqladmin" -p root shutdown next the root password was asked for,I entered the correct password, when I entered the password the below displayed error was the result
mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed error: 'Access denied for user 'ODBC'@'localhost' (using password: YES)' How can I correct this? Is this because of a firewall preventing access to port 3306?If a firewall is preventing access how was it able to ask for the password? I have Nortan Internet Security trial version running and the windows firewall is disabled.If this is caused by a firewall barrier please tell me how to open the port in Nortan Internet Security.
