psadump doesnot dump the mysql database

Hi,

Today i tried to dump my Plesk Server 7.5.4 running on RHEL 2.1 using psadump, everything run fine until trying to dump the database. While dumping the database using mysqldump it gave the following error
mysqldump: Got error: 1045: Access denied for user 'admin'@'localhost' (using password: YES) when trying to connect
An error was occured during execution: "/usr/bin/mysqldump -uadmin -p******************* --quote-names '<databasename>'"

Could anyone please suggest what is going wrong, since initially during the psadump is connects successfully to the MYSQL Server and while dumping the database suddenly we get the error.

Thanks in advance

Did you change your database admin password?. The error suggest that it can't login to dump the dbs. You should be able to log into the db with your plesk admin password.

Code:
mysql -u admin -p`cat /etc/psa/.psa.shadow` psa
 
Thanks for the reply.

The actual problem was the mysql client version. We had upgraded our server to 4.0 but the client version was still 3.23 so there was some compatibility issue. Once we installed the client version to 4.0 the dump was successful.
