So root@localhost is missing something (you can't GRANT a privilege you
don't have). In that case, I think you need to do as Gleb suggested. Shut
down mysqld, then start it with --skip-grant-tables and reissue
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'root'@'localhost';
then stop and start the server again.
Alternatively, you could try to do this witout stopping mysqld. UPDATE
root@localhost's row in the mysql.user table to have the correct values,
then FLUSH PRIVILEGES (but I'm suspicious something like that is how this
started).
