MAMP Change Password

I’ve just installed MAMP and I’m trying to change the mysql password using terminal

MAMP is on,
In Terminal, I type in
/Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/mysqladmin -u root -p [FONT=verdana]NEWPASSWORD

and then OLDPASSWORD which is root

[/FONT]/Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at ‘localhost’ failed
error: ‘Access denied for user ‘root’@‘localhost’ (using password: YES)’

MAMP 1.9
