cannot create a new user on mysql 5.1.73

This does not seem to work

mysql> SET PASSWORD FOR juser201411@localhost= PASSWORD(".6,y:C2a");

ERROR 1133 (42000): Can't find any matching row in the user table

After that I tried manually adding from mysql.user

mysql> update mysql.user set password=('.6,y:C2a') where User='juser201411' and Host='localhost';
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
Rows matched: 0  Changed: 0  Warnings: 0

mysql> flush privileges;
    Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

mysql> select User from mysql.user;+------+
| User |
+------+
| root |
| root |
+------+
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)

For me I had put the line into a txt editor to fill it out and some of my single quotes had gotten converted to smart quotes...hard to see, but obvious once you do(!)

Try to use the CREATE USER syntax. For more information see MySQL doc

CREATE USER 'juser201411'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY PASSWORD '.6,y:C2a';
