Yes, if you install script from scratch you need to create database, username and password manually

as I said you need to create database for that include phpbb. to create database is the same as create other database, visit here
once you create database then enter it to the installation proccess
Database Hostname: localhost
Database Username: username you made
Database Password: your password
Database Name: Name of database connected to username

hope will help
