Amarok: mysql database error on program startup

[swarfega]

Today when I loaded amarok I get this error message:

The amarok database reported the following errors:
GREPME MySQL-server query failed! (1045) Access denied for user 'amarokuser'@'localhost' (using password: YES) on na
In most cases you will need to resolve these errors before Amarok will run properly.

The program continues to load but there are problems with the navigation panel on the left which doesnt respond and reports 0 internet resources. Im sure this is probably connected to the error I get on startup.

I have tried

sudo mysqlcheck -p --auto-repair --all-databases

which reports all is ok. What can I do to fix this?

Kubuntu 12.10 64-bit
KDE 4.9.97
Amarok 2.6.90

Amarok uses its own internal mysql database by default, not the system one. It is located in ~/.kde/share/apps/amarok as far as I know.

If you have configured amarok to use an external mysql database then you need to make sure the password and user name are correct.

Ive not changed the login info from the time when it was working properly.
