Hello, I really hope that Red Hat hasn't changed the root default password to something else.
Start mysqld with --skip-grant-tables parameter, then try your mysqladmin command you were trying to execute. If it works then, your grant tables are screwed up somehow.When you're running with --skip-grant-tables, change your root password to something you can use later.
