As you've said, it wouldn't make any sense for all the passwords on the system to be wrong at the same time, so it is likely something with the main MySQL server. If you check the system during the time where you experience those errors on the sites, do you see anything out of the ordinary? You could check the MySQL logs, which by default are located in /var/lib/mysql/hostname.err, or you can run this command to see what MySQL is doing in real-time:

Code:
mysqladmin proc status
as that would tell you if it's hitting any limits or if it is offline completely.
