I think that becomes clearer if you look at INSTALL.ubuntu, where the
corresponding command says:

mysql> grant all on <kohadatabasename>.* to
'<kohadatabaseuser>'@'localhost' identified by
'<kohadatabaseuserpassword>';

See: http://git.koha-community.org/gitweb/?p=koha.git;a=blob;f=INSTALL.ubuntu;hb=HEAD#l135
Documentation for GRANT: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/grant.html

So, you get to choose the name of the database ("kohadata" on the wiki
page), the name of the database user ("root" on the wiki) and the
password ("password" on the wiki). You should leave "localhost" as it
is - unless you want to run your database on another machine than the
one on which you are installing Koha (and you probably don't want to
do that ;-)

Good luck!
