I'm fresh out of solutions here.  I recently transferred my working website with working punbb forum (and database) to a new host.  Now everything works just fine with the exception of the forum.  Now when I try to log in, I get the following message:

An error was encountered
Error: Unable to connect to MySQL server. MySQL reported: Access denied for user 'admin'@'localhost' (using password: YES).

I have tried changing the script in MySQL but that doesn't do anything.  And when I check out MySQL, I get this message:

There seems to be an error in your SQL query. The MySQL server error output below, if there is any, may also help you in diagnosing the problem
ERROR: Invalid Identifer @ 174
STR: 5.0.
SQL: -- phpMyAdmin SQL Dump

-- Versi�n del servidor: 5.0.27
-- Versi�n de PHP: 5.1.6

SET SQL_MODE="NO_AUTO_VALUE_ON_ZERO";# MySQL returned an empty result set (i.e. zero rows).


Next after following that direction, I then get this:

I even tried to locate someone with forum transfer and or punBB expertise, but I've reached a dead end.  Can anyone help or at least point me in the right direction?

I have just switched hosts and then installed punBB 1.3.4 in the new one with hopes that there is a way to import my old database created in an older version.  If not, then I need to know how to fix the config script so that it will work in the new host as I am getting this error message when I attempt to login:

Error: Unable to connect to MySQL and select database. MySQL reported: Access denied for user 'orgmind0_admin'@'localhost' (using password: YES).

The "orgmind0_admin@localhost" refers to my previous site. 

Please advise   hmm

Actually, I have no idea how to do that since I've moved from a host who totally controlled everything about my site from soup to nuts to one that I myself must configure, manage, maintain, etc via a Control Panel.  So I'm starting from scratch except that I have both an installation package for punBB 1.2.14 and a zip file of my forum database sitting on my computer.

I do have phpMyAdmin in my C-Panel...although not a clue about what to do with it.

Is there any hope for me at all?

I need help!  I made the switch from one webhost to another a couple of months ago with hopes that I would be able to convert my punBB 1.2.14 forum to the script favored by the new host (SMF).  Yes.  Call me disloyal...but try as I might, I have not figured out how to do so; nor have I been able to find someone on the host's help forums who can tell me how to do it.  Consequently, I have decided to return to punBB...and therein lies my new problem.   

I am looking for some step-by-step instructions written in simple English if possible (to say that I'm a newbie to webhosting is a gross overestimate) for how to do the following:  Install punBB, transfer the forum database now sitting in a zip file on my computer into it, and then get it up and running as it used to on my former host. 

I will be forever indebted if anyone can offer me some guidance.
