This is not a password problem, but a communication problem between your
RT server and your MySQL server. It isn't able to connect to it via the
socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock'. So Maybe your MySQL server is down
or listenning on another socket.
Here is the typical error for a password problem:
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using
password: YES)

Never give passwords on mailing lists ...
