Hi!
Restart your mysqld with '--skip-grant-tables', you will not need a
password, nor will you need to be on the bogus host "any". :)
Once in, correct the problem, and then restart mysqld (without the
'--skip-grant-tables').

If you *did* do this before posting, my apologies... It was not very
apparant that you had. :(
