 2.3.5.12 The Security Options Dialog
 ....................................
 
 It is strongly recommended that you set a `root' password for your
 MySQL server, and the MySQL Configuration Wizard requires you set a
 `root' password by default. If you do not wish to set a `root' password,
 un-check the box next to the `Modify Security Settings' option.
 
 To set the `root' password, type the desired password into both the
 `New root password' and `Confirm' boxes. If you are re-configuring an
 existing server, you will also need to enter the existing `root'
 password into the `Current root password' box.
 
 To prevent `root' logins from across the network, check the box next to
 the `Root may only connect from localhost' option.  This will increase
 the security of your `root' account.
 
 To create an anonymous user account, check the box next to the `Create
 An Anonymous Account' option. Creating an anonymous account can
 decrease server security and cause login and permission difficulties
 and is not recommended.
