[TYPO3-install] Root access to database (solved)

[Maurice van Peursem]

I solved the problem myself, it seems that with the 1-2-3 window it 
is sufficient to enter the username and password WITHOUT specifying 
the database-name. That confused me, I thought I needed to enter the 
root password. Sorry for wasting your time ;-).
