cant upgrade database

hi im in the process of upgradign from1.3.9g to 1.5. I have copied all of the new files into a folder called newstore and followed all steps exactly. when i try to do a db upgrade it asks for an admin user name and password. i do not have a user name and password yet becuase the new admin area has not been set up obviously how do i do an upgrade?

The username and password are stored in the database, so you would use the ones for the old store,

of course thank you! forgot I had a different password in there!
