mysqladmin: unable to change password



Hello!

mysqladmin version
mysqladmin  Ver 8.23 Distrib 3.23.49, for pc-linux-gnu on i686

Server version          3.23.49-log

I can't change nor the root password, nor the anonymous password for 
mysql.


sudo safe_mysqld --skip-grant-tables &

sudo mysqladmin -u root password "newpwd"
mysqladmin: unable to change password



mysql -u root
mysql> SET PASSWORD FOR 'root'@'localhost' = PASSWORD('newpwd');
ERROR 1132: You must have privileges to update tables in the mysql 
database to be able to change passwords for others


mysql> SET PASSWORD FOR ''@'localhost' = PASSWORD('');
ERROR 1131: You are using MySQL as an anonymous users and anonymous users 
are not allowed to change passwords

How can I be an anonymous user, when I logged as root user?
What is the problem? How can I solve this problem?
