Do you have any root password set? If so, you should mention -p option in the command. The command should be of the following :
c:\mysql\bin\mysqladmin -u root shutdown -p Which will ask you to enter the root password, else you can type your password along with the -p option as follows : c:\mysql\bin\mysqladmin -u root shutdown -pmypassword Note : there is no space left between the -p and your password.
