$ history | grep mysqladmin

For that reason, you might want to consider setting/resetting the password from the mysql client:

$ mysql -u root mysql
mysql> SET PASSWORD FOR root@localhost=PASSWORD(’newpasswordgoeshere’);

mysqladmin -u root -p”newpassword” -h host_name password “newpassword”
instead your second command.
