Mysql password not working mysqladmin -u root -p ext stat

[pspcrazy]

hi i have an issue with the out put code:
mysqladmin -u root -p ext stat

when i enter my the old password or nothing it gives me an error saying wrong password.

Any other software that can get these stats without this or anyway to find out what the password is ? I tryed reseting a week ago and it literally broke my plesk leading me to reimaging the server.

Plesk disables the MySQL root account and uses 'admin' instead.

And if you forget that password, you can find it by typing:

cat /etc/psa/.psa.shadow

as root.
