You ARE upgrading in-place, don't you? You are installing 6.2 in the same folder that you had for the 4.5 installation? If yes, 6.2 will get the details of your DB connection from localconf.php, convert it, and write it back to LocalConfiguration.php.
To start the upgrade, you invoke the install tool (with /typo3/install) in your browser and follow the instructions under Upgrade. Backend and Frontend will not work until you finished the process. Detailed instruction can be found in the Wiki [1]. If you go through the 1-2-3 installer instead, you will get a completely new configuration (separate database, separate settings). Your page tree will then be empty.
