…simply can´t understand mysql

1- I´ve been studying a tutorial on which a script connects to a database ;

\<?  
$usr = “–username–”;  
$pwd = “–password–”;  
$host = “localhost”;  
$db = “linksdb”;  
…  
I have installed the server bundle W a m p and so far I´ve not been able to understand how to configure the MYSQL username ;  
I followed a tutorial that showed how to assign a password to MYSQL but  
it does not explain how to deal with username (is it root ? );  
how to set a username on mysql ?

2- by means MYSQL Front 3.2 I accessed a server where I have an account , despite not being able to understand how the database server works.  
I´ve not been able to decipher this riddle , so I wonder If someone could  
me explain how (or recommend me a tutorial);

Cheers
