Running the installation script

•  Username: This is the name you use to log in to WordPress. By default,
the username is admin, and you can leave it that way. However, for
security reasons, I recommend you change your username to some-
thing unique to you. This username is different from the one you set
for the MySQL database in previous steps. You use this username
when you log in to WordPress to access the Dashboard (see Book III),
so be sure to make it something you’ll remember.

•  Password, Twice: Type your desired password in the first text box
and then type it again in the second to confirm that you’ve typed
it correctly. If the two versions of your password don’t match,
WordPress alerts you with an error message. If you don’t enter

a password, one is generated automatically for you. For security                    Book II

reasons, it’s a good thing to set a different password here than the               Chapter 4

one you set for your MySQL database in the previous steps — just don’t get them confused.

For security reasons (and so other people can’t make a lucky guess),
passwords should be at least seven characters long and use as many
different characters in as many combinations as possible. Use a
mixture of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols
(such as ! “ ? $ % ^ &).
