Access denied

I have been trying to install the poll, I opened the config.inc.php file and put in the db, user and password and below is the error response (I would appreciate any help):

Warning: mysql_connect(): Access denied for user: 'snowman@localhost' (Using password: YES) in /home/snow/public_html/poll/include/class_mysql.php on line 31

The username/password for you mysql database isn't correct

I have actually put the username and password twice to make sure that it was changing. I changed the username and the error changed with the new user name. I'm not quite sure where "YES" is coming from regarding the password that's not the password I put in.

To make sure I even changed my password to "YES" to make sure and I still got the same error response

I don't know what the proper permissions should be, but with that said, I have had success with: chmod 755 <polldir> -R

Again, this probably isn't safe, but with the lack of documentation and a certain amount of laziness, I have gone as far as: chmod 777 <polldir> -R

The YES that you are referring to is simply showing that a password was passed to the database during authentication.
