Any ideas?

Scroll down to the section called 'Database Configuration'. 

Use the WAMP's MySQL to create a new database BEFORE you install the local MyBB. 

Record the exact name of the database you just created, then proceed to the step at 'Database Configuration'.

Thanks for your reply , got scared at first thinking id forgot my password but I just left it blank and everything worked fine. Thanks again.
