It is the first user account which you create yourself.

Strange... in Drupal 6 the installer should have already asked you for the first user's info.

Just create a new user account. Then,

If you login with that and you see that it is user 1, then everything is OK.

If it is user 2, then you may need to go directly to the database, the users table, delete the old one and make this one user 1.

hi,

when installing the drupal, first it will ask for
1. Langauge
2. database settings
3. Admin (user name & password) here you might have missed it.

if this is not the case, as you have used some script.
read readme or install or something like that in the script folder.
there they might have specified about this.
