[TYPO3-english] Database suddenly cannot connect to TYPO3

[Lily Wong]

Hello list,

My TYPO3 site went down this morning. Both my front-end and back-end  
TYPO3 login page are showing this error message:

Database Error
The current username, password or host was not accepted when the  
connection to the
database was attempted to be established!

Has anyone come across this type of sudden database error before? I do  
not recall having made any changes to my config files yesterday when I  
last accessed the site? Possible that this is a hack? Any suggestions  
would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Lily
