Need help uploading to HostMonster

By
I followed the directions...at first I made a new database, username, pw and uploaded it but when I do that it puts the files in folder like mydomain.com/public_html/username/forums and it makes me log in under that name (in the FTP program).

What I would like to do is log into my FTP program with my main domain name/username...so I tried logging into my FTP program and going thru the install, I got everything into a folder like mydomain.com/forums but when I run the install.php I get caught up. The first process goes fine but the second stops and I get this error:

Step 2) Connect to the database
Attempting to attach to database
Error description: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Access denied for user 'sevonehe@71h8.co'@'localhost' (using password: YES) /home2/sevonehe/public_html/forums/includes/class_core.php on line 311
The database has failed to connect because you do not have permission to connect to the server. Please confirm the values entered in the 'includes/config.php' file.


Dunno, why its cutting off the M on .com? Also...I do not know the name of my MAIN database, when I create a new database in mySql it gives me the name but then I get stuck having to upload it under another username in the public section in the FTP.
