So when I go to setup MyBB it gives me this error: http://prntscr.com/5yze8a (MySql part)

Hostname: I put the ip they gave me
Username: I thought it would be root, but I guess not?
Password: I got the password correct
Database Name: I put the name of the database

Host: DigitalOcean

in general, user name cannot be root. you have to check it at the database details.

The username should be the name of the MySQL user you assigned to the database.
