Question PHP throws error when connecting to MySQL: access denied

Arman5592

New Pleskian
Hi,
I am using a webhost in order to keep track of some user information (just a test at this point) using MySQL and PHP. I have created a (actually several) user in order to connect to my database, and this entire process used to worked fine until a few weeks ago, but now I encounter PHP Error 1045 : Access denied when I use the users username/password to connect to the database.
At first I was told this was because my user's password was too weak and plesk "wouldn't register it because of that" (which I did not accept) but it gives the same error when I use a password marked as "very strong".
I do not understand why I can't connect to my database, I've tried creating new databases, users, etc, but nothing seems to work and I keep getting the same 1045: Access denied error.

Thanks in advance.
