mambo installation

During the installing of Mambo, In step 1, Mysql database congifuration asks me for Host Name, Mysql User Name, Mysql password, Mysql Database Name and Mysql Table Prefix.

How can i find out for all those fields?

Host Name will be localhost
MySQL User Name is the username you create for yourself in MySQL Databases (cPanel). Usually in the form of cpaneluser_username.
MySQL Pass Word is the password you assign to the username previously.
MySQL Database Name is the name of the database you create for Mambo, also in MySQL Databases. Usually in the form of cpaneluser_database.
MySQL Table Prefix is not necessary but if you install multiple scripts in one database, this will help distinguish one script from the other. An example would be mambo1_

Also when you create the Database, you must give permissions for the username to access it. This is also done on the same page in MySQL Databases.

Sorry, I meant the MySQL Databases icon in cPanel. Also, if you are looking for phpMyAdmin then you can always locate it on MySQL Databases towards the bottom of the page.
