 * I am trying to copy from joomla to wordpress (the joomla site is live with a 
   host provider and I am trying to copy its contents to my wordpress site on my
   localhost).
    I get the following message when I try to test the database connection
   using the Joomla database parameters.
 * **[ERROR] Couldn’t connect to the Joomla database. Please check your parameters.
   And be sure the WordPress server can access the Joomla database.
    SQLSTATE[HY000][
   1045] Access denied for user ‘xxxxxx’@’localhost’ (using password: YES)
 * I am sure that the parameters are correct. I was wondering is there was alternate
   way to achieve this?
