MySQl import error

I am trying to import an excel file into mysql database and I repeatedly get the following error:
#1044 - Access denied for user \'kishy\'@\'localhost\' to database \'XLS_DB\'

Are you doing this via script or PHPMyAdmin?

Does the database already exist?

I am doing it through PHPMyAdmin. The database is not already created and I am trying to import an excel file using PHPMyAdmin.

Hello,

You first need to create the database in cPanel, then import the data in through phpMyAdmin. Databases cannot be directly created by phpMyAdmin.

Thanks.
