With the MAMP servers running navigate to:

http://localhost/MAMP/?language=English

Click on "phpmyadmin" in the upper menu bar. Then click on "Add New User" under the little table. Fill in the form like I have, giving the user some simple name and setting a password.

Since we're creating a table for this user that he/she has complete access to, just use that one for zenphoto

Also while we're here, lets change the default password for the root user.

Click on privliges in the upper menu bar, and click on the little icon with the person and pen for the 'root' user. Go ahead and change the password to whatever you want, but remember it!!

You now have to change the password that MAMP uses to sign on into myphpadmin. If everything is set to the default, open the following item with TextEdit or preferred text editing program:

/Applications/MAMP/bin/myPHPadmin/config.inc.php

This file is written in PHP, but even if you don't know what that junk is, just do this. Find the lines with
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['user'] = 'root';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = 'root';

and change the 'root' on the second line, to the password you just chose for your myphpadmin user. If you want to change the default user you can change the first line as well, but its not really needed for what we're doing.
