Trying to set up user and password for first time.

[y0y0y0]

I am following a video tutorial on how to set a password for Mysql.  Here are the directions it gives me but I am getting an error.

 

use mysql

SET Password=PASSWORD<'blahblah66'>

WHERE user='root';

ERROR 1064 <42000>: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '<'blahblah66'>

 

I just downloaded the newest version of WAMP, so that is what im using.  Yes I'm new and have never done this.  Thanks for any help.
