Unfortunately my mind reading device is currently offline, so I'm afraid you'll have to specify the database error you're getting

Have you CHMOD'd the files appropriately after uploading them to the new host?

Right click on the webpage when you see that error and then select view source. An editor like notepad should pop and then you should see some text that will be between:  Paste that text here.

What? You typed in your password wrong. If you can't login it means you are typing in the wrong details.
