Warning: Access denied for user...

Hi there. I just tried installing YaBB SE and I've encountered a problem. Sometime during the process I get the following message:

Code Select Expand

Warning: Access denied for user: '********@localhost' (Using password: YES) in /home/********/htdocs/yabbse/install.php on line 175

Warning: MySQL Connection Failed: Access denied for user: '********@localhost' (Using password: YES) in /home/********/htdocs/yabbse/install.php on line 175
Cannot connect to database server with given data
sounds suspiciously like my password is wrong, right? But it isn't, I'm sure of that. What can I do?

Make sure that the database info is right even if you're "sure" it is.

Lol. I am. I double and triple checked everything. I tried it again just a few minutes ago because I thought maybe my provider hadn't activated the account yet, but still, no luck. I copied and pasted the information my provider gave me to make sure I didn't have any typos in there, but still, no luck. Guess it must be a provider issue then, huh?

Yes it has to do with the username and password.  Again, make sure

I recently helped someone who could create a db with thei main username and password but needed to create individual users for the dbs they had created (on Xnull) so different hosts have different setups.
