Could someone please explain how to generate the ability scores of the characters i.e how do i know what the strength value or dexterity value to give to the character. Sorry, this stuff is new to me :)

Standard rules are 4d6, keep the best 3 rolls.

Another possibility is to roll 7 times 3d6 and keep the 6 best results (this generates abilities that are lower than Telastyn's method).

In fact, any method that allows you to create 6 scoes between 3 and 18 is good enough. There is no prefered ways to do that (for example, I played with people that have a pool of points that they distribute among the abilities; if you want your players; for example, put every characteristic to 3 and then distribute 60 points).

The SRD doesn't describe any way to assign scores to characteritics because that's the part of the gameplay which is covered by a proprietary license.

HTH,
