You will want to ensure that you are supplying the correct password for your database connection string. If you are unsure of the correct password to use, you can reset the password for your database. This process is explained in this article:

If you are continuing to encounter errors, can you provide the URL of the error you are encountering? This would allow us to take a better look at the error message.
