Installing Drupal

After installing the latest version of drupal all access to any of the sites content was forbidden even after checking all the mysql configuration and such. After I finally contacted tech support, they told me that it was a problem with my .htaccess file.

After commenting out the lines:

Options -Indexes
Options FollowSymLinks

I could finally log in.. but how will this affect the site? Will it cause security problems or future problems down the road, or is this a genuine fix? Frankly... I'm just not sure what these lines do.

What means this error?
Where I have mistaken?
Sorry my English.
Thanks to all

Warning: mysql_connect(): Access denied for user: 'filemakertrizero@localhost' (Using password: YES) in /var/www/html/drupal/includes/database.mysql.inc on line 12
Access denied for user: 'filemakertrizero@localhost' (Using password: YES)

I am having some problem with the install.

1. Installed MySQL. Used root to create 'drupal' database. Gave ALL privileges to 'drupal_admin' on 'drupal'.

2. Installed Apache with PHP4 as in above instructions.

3. Copied all drupal files to /www/htdocs (my apache root directory)

4. Set the following in conf.php

$db_url = "mysql://drupal_admin:jasspur@localhost/drupal";

$base_url = "http://localhost";

So I tried installing several third party themes that I got off your site and to my surprise they did not work. Now this is an example message from a theme I would really like to work which is the "XTemplate_Tableless" theme.
It say's, and I quote:

Fatal error: Class theme_xtemplate_tableless: Cannot inherit from undefined class basetheme in /home/wolfe/public_html/main/themes/XTemplate_Tableless/XTemplate_Tableless.theme on line 35

Can anyone please explain how I can fix this? Thanks.
