wordpress Options

Yes..I'm very confused about this thing. The directions said to open up this file and fill in the database connection information. Yeah, if someone could help me, that would be great. I'm terrible about these things. I just need the stuff explained in simpler terms, basically. Thanks.

<?php
// ** MySQL settings ** //
define('DB_NAME', 'wordpress');    // The name of the database
define('DB_USER', 'username');    // Your MySQL username
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'password'); // ...and password
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');    // 99% chance you won't need to change this value

// Change the prefix if you want to have multiple blogs in a single database.
$table_prefix  = 'wp_';  // example: 'wp_' or 'b2' or 'mylogin_'

// Change this to localize WordPress.  A corresponding MO file for the
// chosen language must be installed to wp-includes/languages.
// For example, install de.mo to wp-includes/languages and set WPLANG to 'de'
// to enable German language support.
define ('WPLANG', '');

/* Stop editing */

define('ABSPATH', dirname(__FILE__).'/');
require_once(ABSPATH.'wp-settings.php');
?>

Okay so I asked my host to help me fill in the stuff, and I tried it, and there was an error...I think it has something to do with me installing WordPress previously, but I didn't... Anyone else have any ideas?
