Log in as admin, and use the password "admin".

Not without writing a sub-system.  There is a very complex
structure behind the catalog that involves several tables.

Make sure you understand what those settings mean.  You need to know the
name of the server that is running mysqld, probably localhost.  And you need
to
know the name of the database.  If you were running a database named
mydomain.com, then you should be able to execute this on command line:

mysql -h localhost mydomain.com

Keep in mind that you need to set the correct username and password.  It's
customary to make an httpd or nobody user with no password that can only
connect to the database from localhost.  In fact, it's probably best to only
allow
connections from localhost or other secure hosts with FreeTrade.

This error suggests that you are probably connecting to the database, but
that you
haven't actually created all the tables.  I don't know how phpMyAdmin runs
scripts.  I always use command line arguments.  You need to do something
like this:

mysql mydomain.com <build.sql

Watch for errors, because if tables already exist, the script will abort.
In that case,
you'll have to drop the tables.
