Unless your using the root account which is unlikely on a shared hosting platform you will have to create a user account with the correct privileges to create a db, or you will have to create a db (and leave blank, eg no tables) and then attach a user to it so it has permissions to use it and then run the installer telling it to use that db and user account.
