This was what I did:

As root:
mysql>GRANT ALL ON mydb.* to [EMAIL PROTECTED] identified by 'mypassword';
mysql>FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Trying to change myaccount's password from mysqladmin:
C:\mysqladmin -u myaccount -p password newpassword
Enter password: **********
C:\MYSQL\BIN\MYSQLA~1.EXE: unable to change password; error: 'Can't find any
matching row in the user table'

Trying to change myaccount's password from mysql console (as myaccount):
mysql> SET PASSWORD = PASSWORD('newpassword');
ERROR 1133: Can't find any matching row in the user table

Regards,
Ardianto R.
