As the error say, you have to create the database in MySQL yourself. Here is how to do it in XAMPP (very similair for WAMP):

1. Open XAMPP Control Panel and click the "Shell" button

   

2. In the shell window, first connect to the database using the following command:

   mysql -h localhost -u root

3. Create a new database with the following command, I named mine "pimcore_sample", also set it to use UTF8:

   CREATE DATABASE pimcore_sample CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci;

If all is successful, your output should be something like this:

Now enter the information into the Pimcore setup, like this:

Using the root user is not recommended, but works for development. Make sure to create another user for production use (see http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/user-account-management.html).
