Is the username and password my username and password or the name of the database?
Hello?
?????
Stop trying to bump your thread.
The username and password it wants is the database username and password (if you're using a shared hosting account, it'll be prefixed with your account name eg exampleacct_exampleuser)

Yes but does it mean the database user username and password?

If you had even read my quote, you wouldn't have needed to reply with that question.

I did read it but am confused.
Please can you tell me what to put for each item?
I can't tell you that, you need to know that yourself.
No but I mean can you tell me what should be there for database type, hostname etc.? Not the exact details but I'm unsure what to put.
It should be something like:
$config['database']['type'] = 'mysqli';
$config['database']['database'] = 'dbname_mybb';
$config['database']['table_prefix'] = 'mybb_';
$config['database']['hostname'] = 'localhost';
$config['database']['username'] = 'dbname_admin';
$config['database']['password'] = 'password';

Done that, but the site's still not showing,
You've got a 500 error... have you got a .htaccess file?? Try renaming it to htaccess.txt
