Error when trying to set Admin password in MySQL

I'm trying to set an admin password for MySQL using the following command:

$ /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqladmin -u root -p new_password

But, I get the following error message?

/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)'

What should I do to set the admin password?

Thanks.
