MySQL problem

[satimis]

Hi folks,


Ubuntu 7.04 server amd64


It just comes to my notice on running following commands

$ sudo /etc/init.d/mysql stop

 * Stopping MySQL database server mysqld       [fail]

$ sudo /etc/init.d/mysql start

 * Starting MySQL database server mysqld        [ OK ] 
/usr/bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Access denied for user 'debian-sys-maint'@'localhost' (using password: YES)'

I suppose the problem is caused by running several 'apt-get update' and 'apt-get upgrade'. Before MySQL start/stop without problem nor having warning.


Please advise how to fix this problem. TIA


Edit-1 :
$ sudo cat /etc/mysql/debian.cnf

Password:
# Automatically generated for Debian scripts. DO NOT TOUCH!
[client]
host     = localhost
user     = debian-sys-maint
password = EdKLb0cr3GElkUdM
socket   = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
[mysql_upgrade]
user     = debian-sys-maint
password = EdKLb0cr3GElkUdM
socket   = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
basedir  = /usr

"user = debian-sys-maint" is still there.


Edit-2:

$ sudo netstat -tap
