Without Root Access there's usually no need searching for them, except your Host's filesystem permissions are very wrong set.

Can you connect to MySQL manually with the user / password from your board's config.php ?
Something like:

mysql --user ... --password ...

If not - dunno about your hosting interface but maybe check if the User given in the config.php file exists and has the permissions to access the board database. If not - create a new one and try with that one.

If there's still an error - recommend as well contacting your hoster about this issue
