Matt,
Is there a space between PASSWORD and the opening parenthesis? There
shouldn't be, if there is. Otherwise, your statement worked without errors
for me

try
mysql\ use mysql
then
mysql\show tables
is the user table there?
if not, have you dropped the user table?

I entered select user();
It outputs
If you haven't yet deleted the localhost root account, you can log onto
the mysql client with:
mysql mysql -uroot -p
then press enter again when it prompts you for a password.
You should now be able to manage all your account info.
