As far as the "Zen Cart Install SQL Patch facility" I'm not sure I know what you're referring to. Zen Cart and osCommerce are two of the shopping cart options available inside of my hosts' cPanel. I just choose which one I want and click an install button and voila...I go to the url to log in to admin. Not sure what a SQL Patch facility is and I've never written tables or anything that makes up DB's.
Take a deep breath. This sound like a confidence issue more than anything else. You're in an unfamiliar place dealing with unfamiliar vocabulary.

If you've just installed Zen Cart then you probably only have one admin user, and their ID is probably 1. Step starts by asking you to to verify this to avoid the risk of awkwardness later.

You do so by logging into the Admin area and then finding the Admin Settings option on the Tools menu.

Provided that you are doing this as user one, you then find the Install SQL Patch facility on the same Tools menu in the Admin. From there you can browse to and run the SQL installation file.

This method is recommended as it's the easiest for new users. It avoids problems with database prefixes for example. But if you are unable to get into your Admin because of steps taken ealier, then we'll need to get into that - but even so, it's really not too difficult, and you'll learn at every step of the way.
