I just have to check, are the web-site and database being hosted by the same company (and therefore probably on the same server)?
If so, I also have to check that you are sure you have the correct password, with the correct capitalisation of upper and lowercase letters.
If both of those are 'Yes', then I'll have to have a bit more of a think about it.

From your screenshots it looks like the database you created is called: web163-cdp (from the list on the very left of the phpMyAdmin screen) which would make sense as that is also the username.
In your Gallery2 install screen you have 'gallery2' in the 'DB Name' field. If you change that to web163-cdp it should work.
