Hi @Mohamed_Adly, and welcome to our community.

I’m sorry that you are encountering an issue while trying to install Forest Admin. You have provided little context for me to be certain, but the following error :  
**SQLSTATE[HY000] [1045] Access denied for user ‘forge’@‘localhost’ (using password: NO)**  
seem to indicate that you cannot connect to your local database.

Can you please make sure that the credentials provided are correct and that the profile used has enough rights to access the data ?  
If the issue persists thank you to provide more details: your technical stack, your environment, which step of the onboarding you are stuck at, what you have tried, and so on…  
Thanks,

Nicolas
