double check and make sure the password that is placed in the settings.php is correct.

Welcome to SMF.

Make sure the information you used to create the database user and password, are the same ones you are trying to use when doing the install.

If you control your own mysql server you can quickly add a new user for your database with

mysql -u root -Be "GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON databasename.* TO user@host IDENTIFIED BY 'password';FLUSH PRIVILEGES;"

If you need only a basic privileges  replace ALL PRIVILEGES with SELECT, INSERT, DELETE, UPDATE, DROP or whichever privilege you need, seperated by a comma.   This is of course ran at a command prompt/shell.   

ensure that databasename is correct and your host is either the IP of the server hosting the website, its hostname or FQDN.  127.0.0.1 or localhost are acceptable if both your webserver and database reside on the same machine. 

Ensure when you setup that you have put the same IP/hostname in the settings.php or installer as you used adding your user to the permissions table. 

For full information you can visit the following website as it appears you are using Cpanel.
