I believe I defined the WP information post installation, so I deleted the bbPress DB, created a new one, went through the 1 step install and still no go. None of the WP users show up in the bbPress user list and I still cannot log in with to WP with the bbPress users nor log into bbPress with the WP users. When I look at my bbPress DB, I have the following tables:

bb_forums

bb_posts

bb_tagged

bb_tags

bb_topicmeta

bb_topics

wp_usermeta

wp_users

As soon as I saw the DB structure, I realized that I needed to specify my WP database, and not create a new one for bbPress for this to work. Once I put in my WP DB information at the top of the config.php file, all worked! Thanks for your prompt response.
