Sorry for the beginner's question, but I'm confused. I can easily create 
passwords and usernames for my online databases by going into my C-Panel and 
clicking a MySQL icon. It fetches a page that allows me to easily create and 
delete databases, add and change passwords, etc. But I can't remember how I 
created my password and username for the database on my PC.

I'm now trying to duplicate that database on a MacBook Pro running MySQL 5 and 
the current version of phpMyAdmin. But I'm not sure about creating a password 
and username with phpMyAdmin.

Suppose I have a database named World, and I want to give it the password 
Global and the username Citizen. I created the database, then clicked the 
Privileges tab, which took me to the page
User 'root'@'localhost'  : Edit PrivilegesAm I correct in ignoring everything 
(Global Privileges, Database-Specific Privileges, etc.) except the section?...

Change Login Information / Copy User

In this section, under Username, I assume I would change "root" to "Citizen." 
Would I leave Password set to "Do not change password" before typing in 
"Global"?


Then I would simply click "Generate" and I'm finished, right?

Thanks.
