But does this even matter if security is not an issue on my home computer and I will eventually upload the site to a server?

Hi, I\'m new to php. I set up a localhost server on my computer, and I\'m trying to use phpMyAdmin with mySql. When I run phpMyAdmin, I get a message at the bottom of the site: Your configuration file contains settings (root with no password) that correspond to the default MySQL privileged account. Your MySQL server is running with this default, is open to intrusion, and you really should fix this security hole. It seems like I can still work on everything ok, although I haven\'t tried because I\'m not sure what I\'m doing yet. I thought I set up a password for mySQL using mySQLAdmin. I put these in the config file for myPHPAdmin, but then it said I couldn\'t log on. Is this a problem if I\'m working just on my computer? What if I upload my files to a host that supports php, will this problem still be there? If it is a problem, how do I fix it? Thank you for your help.
