Okay before you got to the database would be a section to add users with password for the database.
There should be a user assigned to the ubb database with a password.
You might have to retype the password since it usually will not show the password.
Whatever it is that should be identical to the config.inc.php file.
Database name,User name and user password.
If they don't match then ubb can't login to the database and that is the error you are getting.

Oh don't forget to double check the database server name.
Here is all the items in your config file to double check.

'DATABASE_SERVER' => 'your db server',
'DATABASE_USER' => 'your db user ',
'DATABASE_PASSWORD' => 'your db password',
'DATABASE_NAME' => 'your db name',
'TABLE_PREFIX' => 'your db prefix name(usually ubbt_)',
