I think this is what you're looking for:

If your new to php and mysql i would suggest using a program such as phpmyadmin(http://www.phpmyadmin.net) to manage mysql and the users and privelages.

The default user is "root" with no password. This should be changed ASAP. The user name itself should (maybe cannot?) be changed but a password should be added.

Like Jason2k1 i recommend phpMyAdmin.
