Check that you can connect to the database through some other means (mysql administrator or phpmyadmin) using your username and password. Also, check in your account control panel to make sure the database, username, or password has not gotten deleted or changed.
A lot of the security problems with older versions of programs like phpBB is that they allowed sql injection and it is possible to delete tables, databases, and change passwords.
