Phpbb:
Database server hostname or DSN:
DSN stands for Data Source Name and is relevant only for ODBC installs. On PostgreSQL, use localhost to connect to the local server via UNIX domain socket and 127.0.0.1 to connect via TCP. For SQLite, enter the full path to your database file.

Database server port:
Leave this blank unless you know the server operates on a non-standard port.

Database name:

Database username:

Database password:

Prefix for tables in database:

I don't know where to get these.

It sounds to me like you're manually installing Phpbb. You'll need to go to PhpMyAdmin in your cPanel, and create a database there. Then create a database user and add it to the database with all privileges. Use all of that info you created to fill out what you are asking here.

I'm not really sure how to make a database in phpMyAdmin

I've found the wiki article for MySQL database info for phpbb: http://x10hosting.com/wiki/MySQL_Information There is a link in that article that directs you on how to create a database and user.

Oh nevermind. It works. PHPbb was being stupid by not accepting it . I heard rumors of account being suspended due to phpbb and there comes another reason why i switched to smf.
