[cobalt-users] MYSQL is giving troubles... please help me

["R. Hamburg \(hava.nl\)" <user@xxxxxxx>]

Since a few seconds I'm getting the error from one of our sites stating the
following:

Warning: Host 'XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX' is blocked because of many connection
errors. Unblock with 'mysqladmin flush-hosts' in
/home/sites/site14/web/gastenboek/guestbook_show.php on line 63

When I run 'mysqladmin flush-hosts' (without the quotes) from the prompt
(SSH)
I get the following error:

mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Access denied for user: 'root@localhost' (Using password: NO)'

Where do I go wrong ?? How should I connect ?? What should I do to correct
this matter ??? how do I unblock.... ANY help is appriciated.....

Thanks in advance.
