Hello all i have just downloaded mysql,and now i am  trying to set it up but having so much trouble at the moment. I have spent the better...nvm...anyways i do not understand this part

Part 5. SET PASSWORD FOR username@localhost = PASSWORD('newpassword'); (Change username and newpassword to your selected username and password, again keep @localhost)

my question is, is it this the part i add <SET PASSWORD FOR username@localhost = PASSWORD 123456;> without the greater than and less than signs? and if so i get an error message. if not can someone please give me an example because i am lost and all but ready to uninstall the whole mysql and not worry about a bot.

P.S. what does that means when it says change username and password to ...etc please can someone just show me an example of how part 5 should look.

Thank You.[/list]
