Man..I know what you mean..I have been meaning to write a comment about that in wiki 6.2 tutorial. 
If you are getting a syntax error when doing the grant thing..Then try this way... 
 GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON eqdr2.* TO username@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'password' WITH GRANT OPTION; 
 
Notice how the name of Database(eqdr2) is written..This way works for me.
