I have made my database and changed the settings.php. I goto my localhost and drupal comes up. I click the install and it goes to the next page where you enter the database and username and password. When I fill in the info I get this message.
Failed to connect to your MySQL database server. MySQL reports the following message: Access denied for user 'rrpress'@'localhost' (using password: YES).
Are you sure you have the correct username and password?
Are you sure that you have typed the correct database hostname?
Are you sure that the database server is running?
For more help, see the Installation and upgrading handbook. If you are unsure what these terms mean you should probably contact your hosting provider.
I have checked the password and everything is right. Also there have been times when it just clears the field wanting me to type it in again. if anyone can help that would be great
Thanks

You should not have to change the settings.php file, other than copying the default.settings.php to settings.php and making the settings.php file writeable. The install process will take care of the initial modifications to the settings.php file, including setting the database, username and password that the drupal installation will use.
