It show that there is a mysql service running, but that the user
root@localhost is not allowed with the specified password.

Shouldn't there be a '=' sign between the switches and their values?

Did you set a password? If not try login in without a password.

If you set a password type the password correct, it is case sensitive.
Or just remove the password from the commandline and let mysql prompt
you for the password by only specifiing the -p switch without a value.

Try mysqladmin -h for the correct syntaxis.
