Default MySQL with Yahoo! Small Business

I'll never host with Yahoo! again. Their control panel is horrible, poorly laid out, hard to navigate and understand. They'd be better off with cPanel or even vDeck.

So, here's my deal. I am installing phpBB forums. I went into the MySQL page to set up a database, and it asked me to create one. Alright, so I named it forums. I made my pass. But, stupid Yahoo! didn't leave me any info regarding the prefix to the database. No database name, user, password information. I did manage to see that they say the prefix is "mysql". So I tried this many times and got nothing. I also changed "localhost" to "mysql", another recommendation from them. Nothing. It's not connecting to the database.

So, if anyone here uses Yahoo! hosting, do you know of any pages that show me a list of all my databases, or can help me out otherwise? I can't even find a page to create additional databases. Possibly they're having difficulties?
