When you created a new database, you are aware that whatever name you gave it, it has your cpanel username put at the front? People often miss that bit of information and it causes problems.For example, you typed in "forum" as the name of the database.When the setup asks for the name of the database you have to put in "username_forum"It might help, it might not.

after you created the database and the database userjust grant the permission with the both.then remember the correct pass of the database userinput correct ,retry again.
