First and foremost thing to do is by verifying that you have a correct database password as well as the user. If the database user is not having the access to a given database the website is using, then the site will not be able to connect. You need to verify the user and password info by using the access domain to login to phpmyadmin. One needs to use the database manager utility in the account center for creating or modifying the users, permissions as well as passwords.

Log into the Account Center and navigate to the Grid file manager. Navigate to your WordPress site's wp-config.php file and click the edit button on the right side of the menu. If you prefer, you may also access this information via an SSH connection and edit using a text editor.

One must make sure that the database username is set to a user that is having the permission to access the database. This can more like be an issue if you have been recently migrated to a WordPress website from a different location and if you haven't created the database user or given the user a proper permission.

If there an unsurity of the database password then you can reset the database users password using the database user management tool and then use a new value for the database password field.
