Default Need help installing phpBB3 (with cpanel)

hi.

im going to spare you my life story, and hop right to the question.

ive got a website, which i intend to install a forum on. its a paid for webhotel with support for just about anything, and i know for a fact it can run a forum. ive read quite a bit of tutorials and install guides, but i cant seem to find one thats detailed enough for me. (i might just be retarded, who knows)

anyways, this is my problem. i have made a mySQL database, and registered a user on it with all priveliges. i have no idea how to make this database corrolate with my forum however. (i have the phpBB3 folder uploaded)

when i try to install it using the www.*********.com/phpBB3/install, i get this error message:


Could not connect to the database, see error message below.
Access denied for user '*****'@'localhost' (using password: YES)


this is what the settings are:


Database server hostname or DSN: localhost

Database server port: (blank)

Database name: forum (thats what i named my database)

Database username: *****

Database password: **********

Prefix for tables in database: phpbb_



my forum folder is called phpBB3, its lying with my html files. my problem, as i see it, is that i do not know how to make the database i make matter with the forum. my "backdoor" to the site is cPanel. if you need any other information just ask, ill try to help as best i can. thanks for your time

you should look into geting help here http://www.phpbb.com/support/
its the official support center. It makes more sence to me to ask there where the topic is about phpbb then ask in general question forums.
