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

how can i fix this ?

Well from the error you gave, you are trying to log into mysql as the root user with no password. Does the root user really not have a password?

If it does you should like in like:

mysql -uroot -p DATABASE-NAME

where DATABASE-NAME is the database you are trying to access. The '-p' parameter tells the mysql client to prompt your for the password.

Frank

this error is from whm when i tried to access show mysql processess using whm.

can anyone help me at all ?

Is your mysql daemon running at all?
If not start it up.

yes it is running, i think it is a misconfiguration in the whm. I'll look around whm later on tonight. But any help would be greatly appreciated.

make sure your root password and the mysql root password are the same...

thats usually the root of the problem :)

nope, even if mysql and root password are different then also it should not display this error from WHM. atleast not on my servers.

JUST my $.02 :)
