Comment(by nacin):

 You're right, it's tough. There's no way to tell if it's user, server, or
 password. But there is a differentiation between these three:
  * user, host, password
  * database name
  * table prefix

 In lieu of border colors, let's just try a simple error message at the top
 in <p> tags, with three different error messages (one for each case).
 "Cannot check to the database server with this username and password.",
 "Cannot select this database.", "The table prefix can contain only
 letters, numbers, and underscores."

 Then, focus the first applicable field via injected JS, either name, user,
 or table prefix.
