Either password is not correct (most probably), or (less likely as it can hardly sqlstate 28000 1045 access denied for user be done unintentionally) the user has been stripped of all privileges. When messing with settings.php, it is recommended to keep a backup (yeah, I know this piece of advice is kind of late now).

Change the permissions to be writable. Make the fix, than change permissions back to read.

Around line 92 of this file (everything prior to that are comments anyway), there is a line like: $db_url = 'mysqli://username:password@localhost/databasenam

Did 'example'@'localhost' contain your real username and password, or was it https://www.drupal.org/node/254066 literally "username/password"? If it was "username/password", then Drupal is looking at an exact copy of default.settings.php which has been renamed to settings.php. That copy shouldn't exist, and causes exactly the error you described.

Posted by mrfrazzlebottom on August 9, 2006 at 12:42am I recently received this error message: Unable to connect to database server This either means that the username and password information in your settings.php file is incorrect or we can't contact the MySQL database server. This could mean your hosting provider's database server is down. The MySQL error was: Access denied for user: 'root@localhost' (Using password: YES). Currently, the username is root and the database server is localhost. ... Here is why I posted in Post Installation: This error happened some weeks after I had installed and had a successfull go of it. I had added lots of content, etc. This error suddenly appeared without warning one day when I went to the site, and where a few days before it was working. In the beginning, I had used cPanel/Fantastico to install Drupal, and it went well. Who can say what went wrong? (I had just before this failure, used cPanel/Fantastico to install another software package. Perhaps that caused the problem?) Beats me, and I am sure everybody else. Just how could an error like this happen? I could use phpMySqlAdmin to access the Drupal database, and it gave no indication of a problem. I actually even exported the database, downloaded the Drupal installation and installed it on my home PC, where I used phpMySqlAdmin to import the database. I then modified the lcoal settings.php file for the local MySql user/password and I have the old online site fully back in operation locally. I even just used cPanel/Fantastico to install a second copy of Drupal on my website, in another directory, it it too works fine. But there is the screwy thing: When installed via cPanel/Fantastico, the password string in settings.php is encrypted, and Drupal's documentation, and my local installation bears this out, says to use the plaintext password! Which is correct? Is there a setting somewhere to encrypt the password? Of course, why my Website database password suddenly changed on me, wil probably not ever be determined (unless I screwed something by accident as I did use cPanel to install some other software). Anyway, I can simply switch to the new website's Drupal, I just need to redo all my configurations. Does Drupal have a backup and restore function? Thanks all for listening. (And Drupal rocks!)
