Unable to connect to database server
If you still have to install Drupal, proceed to the installation page.

If you have already finished installed Drupal, this either means that the username and password information in your settings.php file is incorrect or that we can't connect to the MySQL database server. This could mean your hosting provider's database server is down.

The MySQL error was: Access denied for user 'dbo211916290'@'74.208.16.91' (using password: YES).

Currently, the username is dbo211916290 and the database server is db950.perfora.net.

Are you sure you have the correct username and password?
Are you sure that you have typed the correct 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.

Are you sure that you have the settings.php db_url setup correctly? You're on 1and1 and they usually have their MySQL setup on port 3306, so make sure that is included e.g. 

$db_url = 'mysql://dbo123456789:password@db1234.perfora.net:3306/db987654321';

Triple-check that your database name and your username and password are correct. Those are about the only options that would cause this error.
