What you want to do it seems is change the hostname for access of some
users. Although, if it is local access, they should have access to
localhost and it doesn't matter which hostname the machine has.
Also, initially, you have to set the root password.
Almost everyone uses PHPMyAdmin to administer MySQL in this area (apart
from the root password). Either by editing the mysql.* databases directly
(which I wouldn't recommend if you have no experience) or in the user
administration. After that you have to flush the credentials or simply
restart MySQL.
As John and others said, the hostname of the machine doesn't matter. It's
not necessary to reinstall MySQL as this won't "fix" it, anyway.
