 * It depends on how your hosting is set up. However, you should be able to create
   a new user, assign all the privileges for that user in relation to the database
   and then attach the user to the database. You’ll need to update the wp-config.
   php file with the new username and password once you’ve done so.

 * The permissions have to do with the user. The permissions are assigned to the
   user, typically when you attach a user to the database. Did you create a new 
   user and attach that user to the database?
