I found this answer here, but still can't create a new Database.

I was also told that the default the password for root is blank, that didn't work, tried password, root etc :(

I'm stuck at the password screen.

The only thing I can gather is that the default ip I was given doesnt work.

  1. Check that mysql is running on server 127.0.0.1
  2. Check that mysql is running on port 3306 (note: 3306 is the default, but this can be changed)

According to this tutorial on their site, I need to check that mysql is running on the right server ip, but how do I even do that? :(

Looks like the first problem here is the login. If blank as password is not working for you. Try to set a password first and then proceed with next steps

Here are instructions to reset/set the password for first time

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/resetting-permissions.html

Or use 

mysqladmin -u root password NEWPASSWORD

Once you are logged in you can easily create a database.
