mysql - ERROR 1064 (42000): You have an error in your SQL syntax; Want to configure a password as root being the user

I have just downloaded WAMP. I want to configure a password for the MySQL root user using MySQL console. No password has been set previously.

The following is the input

    mysql-> use mysql
    Database changed
    mysql-> UPDATE user
         -> SET Password=PASSWORD<'elephant7'>
         -> WHERE user='root';

ERROR 1064 (42000): You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'WHERE user='root'' at line 3

This is what I had to do:

ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'new_password';
