http://localhost:81/mantisbt/admin/install.php

When I visit this URL to check admin access it gives me error as

"Attempting to connect to database as admin -> BAD
Does administrative user have access to the database? ( Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES) )"

You entered the wrong password for the database user.

In addition to the advice from atrol, it is bad practice to log on as "root". Far better to create a dbms user account specifically for Mantis. E.g. 'mantisadmin' with limited privileges, access only to the Mantis database, and a complicated password.
