prompt to create a new database and 1044 error

[preserver]

I get the following error message when trying to import a database (from local to remote host):

Error
SQL query:

--
-- Database: `prestashop`
--
CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS `prestashop` DEFAULT CHARACTER SET latin1 COLLATE latin1_swedish_ci;


MySQL said: Documentation

#1044 - Access denied for user 'presesa0'@'localhost' to database 'prestashop'

I've been checking that 1) I did create a new database on the remote server. and 2) I change config site files to match the server, database name, user and password to the new remote database. (I don't know that phpmyadmin or mysql care about that, but just the same...)

Any ideas about particularly what the message means, please do let me know. Thank you!
