The docroot should have no effect on your ability to connect to the MySQL
server.
You can check whether you are using the old password algorithm by looking for a
file called my.cnf and seeing if it contains a line "old-passwords" or similar.
To rule out phpmyadmin as the problem, you could try to write a one-line PHP
script to connect to the database and print out whether it was successful. You
can try to run this through apache as a web page, and also on the commandline
("php mytest.php"), to see if you get different results.
