Re: Database Error
-----------------------------------
Before all you should know this forum provides support for Icy Phoenix, so you're maybe in the wrong place... I'll move it to phpBB3 Mods and Styles, but I don't know where I should place this topic...

I'm not Mighty, but I think I can help you ;) 
Then, this error you are telling us is very strange. It seems your username and/or password are wrong.

As you told us, you are solving the problem by using CPanel, so it seems the error has nothing to do with phpBB. The best thing you can do is to contact your hosting provider and tell them your problem.
But before doing that just check that your db host is right; some hosts tell you the host is different than localhost. Check the emails they sent you when you signed up and the MySQL zone in your CPanel so you can see what db host you should use.

Greets!
