It asks you for a *new* username and a *new* password. Just choose them, type them into the fields, submit the form, and you're done.

The example works fine here. Make sure that you use the PEAR installer, so that the dependencies are fulfilled. And you also need to make sure that your PEAR directory is in your include_path directory. If your code then still fails, you might to ask on the pear-general@lists.php.net list.
