A simple install of Drupal gives :
Now installing Drupal version 9.2.6 …
Database connection failed : mysql::execute_sql failed : DBI connect failed : Access denied for user ‘ichi’@‘localhost’ (using password: YES)

… failed! See the error message above for the reason why.

AH, on the same server : I reset a website from scratch and this time the Drupal install page gives :
