Also, that's called another typo, which happens quite often.

Your database information should be in your config.lua.

If you've imported your forgotten.sql (Whatever its called), all you need to do is, open your config.lua file, it's in your server files folder. Press Ctrl + F, and search for database.

If you're using MySQL; change your text to this, (just change your database name and your password to the phpmyadmin).

-- Database
-- NOTE: sqlFile is used only by sqlite database
sqlType = "mysql"
sqlHost = "localhost"
sqlPort = 3306
sqlUser = "root"
sqlPass = "YourPasswordHere"
sqlDatabase = "YourDatabaseNameHere"
sqlFile = "forgottenserver.s3db"
passwordType = "plain"


I hope it helped, have a good evening.
