The basic concept?

The first error you reported was an error reporting that the SCRIPT
could not connect to the database. NOW, you're reporting that you
can't use the DATABASE username and password to login to the website?
Not only does this not make a lot of sense, it means that the first
error you reported has been resolved (it _must_...if the script can't
connect to the database, you don't even get a login page).

Did you create an admin user in the install tool? It seems unlikely,
since you need to provide a username and password at that step too...
Look on the "Database analyser" page in the install tool for a link
that says 'create "admin" user'. Click it, provide a new username and
password (these should not be the same as the database username and
password, these are login information for accessing the back end of
the website). Then you can go to http://example.com/typo3/ to log in.
