Good to hear. Did you make any other changes apart from the 
user/password thing?

Maybe. It's really something mysql should give you a clear error message 
about IMHO. I've been bitten more than once running mysql from the 
command line and forgetting about no space allowed between -p and 
password. Trouble is the mysql error message is not helpful. Just tells 
you access is denied. So maybe your idea makes sense.
