Unless you're the root user, you can only change the password of the user
that you're connected as. Allowing you change someone else's password would
be a huge security breach. (The user table entries you refer to *are* for
different users, because a "user" in MySQL is really a user+hostname
combination.) You'll need to connect with the given user name from
the
various hosts to be able to change the corresponding passwords with the
SET PASSWORD command.
