Hi Jose,

Have you try :

# mysqladmin -u root --password "mypassword"

Here is the info according to the mysqladmin manual :

<snip>

--password[=password], -p[password]

The password to use when connecting to the server. If you use the
short option form (-p), you cannot have a space between the option and
the password. If you omit the password value following the --password
or -p option on the command line, you are prompted for one.

Specifying a password on the command line should be considered insecure.

Or better yet just use the following command :

# mysqladmin -u root --password

Hope this help.
