Hi roberth31,

Database username is the username that has privileges to access the database. Are you using cpanel? If you are, just click on "MySQL Databases" and you can see the databases that you have and also usernames that are created. If there are no usernames or databases, just create a database and an username. Then grant the username access to the database.
