3. Enter and confirm the new password in the appropriate text boxes.

4. Click Create User.

5. Select the checkboxes that correspond to the privileges that you want to grant the user, or select ALL PRIVILEGES.

6. Click Next Step.

The system displays a message that states that you successfully set up the database and user account.
