what's username/password for http://localhost

[yuwmic]

I'm a beginner and following a tutorial that says to type http://localhost, but when I do it asks for username/password; which username is this? can i get around it? or rest the password/username? thanks.

check your windows host file and make sure it has an entry for localhost

look here for details:

if you have any .htaccess files in your apache document root, delete them.
