Error when setting up IPB forum

[lateralus138]

Hello, I am trying to set up a temporary forum to train for administration and moderation at another site and to make a new theme for it, but after setting up my database and starting to install it I get this error:

"Warning: Access denied for user 'faithno'@'absolut.x10hosting.com' (using password: YES)"

I have set up many forums on servers and in Cpanel before with success so I am quite familiar with the process and I have double checked my info over and over again, making sure all names are correct.

The info needed and applied:

SQL Host: localhost

Database Name: faithnom_ipb (which is the name of my database, although I have also just tried ipb by itself)

SQL Username: faithno (I am sure of this)

SQL Password: ********* (I am sure of this)

SQL Table Prefix: faithnom

MySQL Table Type: MYISAM (although I tried the other option as well)

I have changed all my permissions to high 777 just to make sure and changed them back after (don't have anything I am worried about someone messing with anyway).

I thought maybe you might have a different SQL Host name, but I can't find anything anywhere.

If I am not allowed to set this up then thank you for your time anyway.

sql username should be like this cpanelusername_dbuser.

Create new user from database management if don`t created yet.
and remember to add database all privileges to user
