Execute command as administrator to restore mysql database in win7 via CMD

Question

I'm trying to restore a mysql backup in XAMPP - Windows 7 using the following command:

mysqlimport.exe -u username -p password nameOfNewDB < backupFile.sql

The machine I'm working on is attached to a network, so I checked my username using whoami and I got:

rms\johndoe

So I tried:

mysqlimport.exe -u rms\johndoe -p password nameOfNewDB < backupFile.sql

it asks me for the password, after entering it, it says:

Error: 1045 Access denied for user 'rms/johndow'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

Then I tried only with johndoe, same error, then I tried using .\\admin (I've got the admin password), same error, I also tried .\\administrator, admin, administrator and nothing yet.

Note: I'm using cmd because the database is very large and I cannot do it using phpmyadmin.

Any suggestion?

Thanks.
