Please doublecheck all passwords. Mostly people setup the system with a wrong password. In this case it is the easiest way to re-setup the system.
To check the database connect use '~otrs/bin/CheckDB.pl' . Is the output "It looks Ok!", you don't have problems with MySQL. If not, read the error message.
Check the password in Kernel/Config.pm for the database user. If you don't know the database password for the database otrs user, set it new:
shell> mysql -u root -p Reading table information for completion of table and column names You can turn off this feature to get a quicker startup with -A Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g. Your MySQL connection id is 37 to server version: 3.23.48-log Type 'help;' or '\h' for help.

If you want to set up the otrs database again, you can call the setup program by browsing to http://localhost/otrs/installer.pl.
