I changed root password from '' to '' and now cannot connect to databases in APIs SQL prompt

I changed the root password using Google APIs SQL Prompt from blank to <password> using:

UPDATE mysql.user SET password=PASSWORD('<password>') WHERE user='root';

 

Now APIs SQL Prompt cannot access the databases and I cannot execute queries.

Please help !!!
