cphulkd can't connect to MySQL database

[sehh]

For some reason the cphulkd error log: /usr/local/cpanel/logs/cphulkd_errors.log is full of errors like the ones below.

We did have a recent MySQL corruption, so could this have affected the cphulkd tables or grant tables?

Please help.

[cPanelKevin]

The cPHulkd database password is stored in /var/cpanel/hulkdpass

You can verify if its correct or not and reset if necessary, please open a support request if you need assistance with this.

[sehh]

thats the thing, if i try the username and password, it connects without a problem.

but...

if you notice the above error messages, access is denied because there was no password issued ("using password: NO"). Maybe thats a bug?

[sehh]

hmm maybe this is related? this is what panic_log is full of:
