I had the same problem, though the recommended fixes weren't working. After some debugging, I discovered that the password wasn't being read from the config.php file properly. Specifically, I had a '*' in my database username password, and when I output the value the entire password consisted just of the asterisk, even though the config.php had the full password.
Changed my password and found myself in business.
