I tried to built a Drupal system to my Linux Mint. I haven't configured MySQL ever before so I got a problem. I don't know how to get access to the database as Drupal says that

In order for Drupal to work, and to continue with the installation process, you must resolve all issues reported below. For more help with configuring your database server, see the installation handbook. If you are unsure what any of this means you should probably contact your hosting provider.

Failed to connect to your database server. The server reports the following message: SQLSTATE[28000] [1045] Access denied for user 'jaakko'@'localhost' (using password: YES).

Is the database server running?
Does the database exist, and have you entered the correct database name?
Have you entered the correct username and password?
Have you entered the correct database hostname?

I believe that database server is OK and database exists. But how can I add an user to my database?

Did you check the username and password of the database user ?

Checking the username and password solves the problem. Thanks. Now I got another problem as I run Drupal. If I click Configuration, Drupal says

One or more problems were detected with your Drupal installation. Check the status report for more information.

Configuration file Not protected

Error
GD library rotate and desaturate effects 2.0 or higher
The GD Library for PHP is enabled, but was compiled without support for functions used by the rotate and desaturate effects. It was probably compiled using the official GD libraries from http://www.libgd.org instead of the GD library bundled with PHP. You should recompile PHP --with-gd using the bundled GD library. See the PHP manual.

I found discussion in http://drupal.org/node/518758 but I don't have similar lines in setting.php. Is that a configuration problem in Apache or where to start solving the problem? I tried to change $update_free_access but after that I had to reinstall the whole Drupal.
