Default How do I create a new user?

I'm new to MySQL.

1. How do I create a new user?

2. All the "basic" examples that I see assume that you already have a
user account and password. Can anyone recommend a good tutorial web
site?

Thanks; appreciate your help.

M. McDonnell

Correct, you can't create a new user unless you can log in to create one. So
you have to have already have a userid!

Thanks for your reponse. So there must be a default user id, and a
default password. Does anyone know what these are?

By the way, for future reference, I found that link by putting

mysql default user

into google and hit the "I'm feeling lucky" button.
