It's not a file it's in the database. telnet to the server and login to mysql using the mysql client util like this
mysql -u root -p then hit enter and enter the password. now do these commands to create a remote super user mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO monty@youripaddresshere_or_%_for_all_or_example_192.% -> IDENTIFIED BY 'some_pass' WITH GRANT OPTION; that's it. For further fine tunning on privilages please visit www.mysql.com and go to there documentation section. There you will find all you need to know about creating users.
