Thanks a lot Rob, you were right, the root pass was wrong, I went to Configure-Debian and I changed the root pass ;)
good luck!!! B.

A database query syntax error has occurred. The last attempted database query was: "(SQL query hidden)" from within function "". MySQL returned error "1045: Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES) (localhost)"
The database connection details supplied were incorrect. The MediaWiki installer requires one set to be entered, with the second set being optional:
The first database username and password is that of the MySQL account used to connect to the database on a routine basis to perform standard read and write operations. These account details will be written into the LocalSettings.php file, and should point to an account which has *at least* SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE permissions on the database specified for installation.
If the account details provided refer to an account which does not have permission to create the database (if needed), or to create and alter tables within the database, then you need to check the box marked "use a superuser account" and provide details of another account, such as the MySQL root user, which does have these permissions.
The most common cause for an "access denied" message is an incorrect password, so that would be the first thing to check; it's case-sensitive, as usual. The default MySQL root password is blank. See http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/user-names.html for an overview of user accounts in MySQL. If you've lost the root password, then http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/resetting-permissions.html has a guide on how to reset it.
