Password YES

 SQLSTATE[HY000] [1045] Access denied for user 'fubar'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

Created the DB. Checked, repaired, flushed, deleted and let the system create it and continue to receive above error. I do not understand a 3 letter password error when the password criteria is a minimum of 5 letters and this error refuses to "go away"

The message just says the user or password is invalid, and that the client did provide a password. Invalid user may also mean that the configured user account is only valid for '%', which means any remote client, not localhost. You did create the fubar@localhost user, didn't you?

Yes to all the above ad nauseum. The first mental response is obviously the user creation but on most Host systems or at least mine SQL database is a very simple follow the bouncing ball and I have followed it with no problems many times which is probably why I can't "see" the obvious answer. 

Thank you for the response

It was a password failure. My host site had to reset the password. I should have asked for support early instead of after changing the passwords and deleting and creating the database a Gazillion times!
