Answer 1

If you haven't setup anything yet (i.e. it's a fresh install) then you don't HAVE a database yet. You need to learn MySQL and create one first.

Answer 2

It depends if you're on your own server (localhost) or using an online hosting service.

I suspect you're on an online hosting service, because if you were on your own machine, you'd either
a) be using XAMPP which sets up a root account for you automatically
b) be so completely lost you'd never get into phpMyAdmin.

Most hosting services that allow mySQL databases require you to specify a database name. Often they'll create a username with the same name as the database name. You'll normally have to enter a password for the database when you create it.

Databases are usually created outside of phpMyAdmin on the remote services, so they can ensure you have a username and password.

Check the documentation for your host. There's usually a place to get this information.

Answer 3

try to open your browser and type http://localhost
