Are you specifying a host on the mysqladmin command line?  Usually
mysql(admin) connections are made to "localhost" instead of the actual
hostname, but this can be changed so I'm not sure this is your problem.

Can you connect to the standard MySQL interface?  Try connecting to the
mysql client using:

$ mysql -u root -h localhost -p

If that works, replace "mysql" with "mysqladmin" and add your options to the
command.
