Error 1045 (28000) Cannot stop mysql

I'm trying to stop MySQL using sudo mysql stop command but I'm getting

Error 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password NO)

I've seen some answers in the internet that I need to stop MySQL and update the password but my initial problem was I'm having an error in stopping MySQL.

To stop the MySQL service you should do

sudo service mysqld stop

With mysql stop you are trying to connect to a database called stop, with your current user and no password.
