Remove everything from the mysql/data directory and run mysql_install_db and you will have the original default grant tables with no passwords set. Passwords are stored in the user table of the mysql database as a one-way encrypted hash value. If you later forget the password you can start mysqld with --skip-grant-tables and then get in and reset the password. After you made changes to the mysql.user table, did you remember to do 'flush privileges' ?
