Problem Connecting to Wordpress DB

I am setting up wordpress on my site, my username and password are recognised by wordpress but I but seem to have problems connecting to the database. When creating the DB in the BT Database managment tool the note says that the dadatbase name is appended by the username i.e. this is my database "mydb_mysite_co_uk" but to access it should be "mydb_mysite_co_uk_username" this does not work I have tried every variation no Username,  prepended username  and appended username.

Wordpress install suggests that there may be permission issues with the username I have tried accessing PHP my admin to manually check the permissions but this gives me a 403 error.

 

Can anyone help

The database name to use in Wordpress will be mydb_mysite_co_uk.

 

The username will be entered in a separate field and will be the one that is automatically assigned to you (will look something like mysitecouk255466, etc)
