I know the exact cause of the MySQL error - I changed the password.
Question is, how can I change what MyBB has set for the database password?

Additional question on this issue, if you don't mind.
After a website password change due to one of my sites getting phished I could not access my forum. The advice above got that taken care of but that leads me to this, why does the password change not migrate to the MyBB data base and, why does it not show a user in my MySQL data base listing?

The change does not migrate to MyBB because MyBB, or any other application that uses databases, do not tie in to the database's user management. Anytime you change a password for the sql database you will have to update your applications that access that database with the new password.
As for your second question, are you asking about MyBB users or database users? MyBB's users are all stored in the users table and they will all be there. As for the database users, assuming you're using phpmyadmin, you can see them under the privileges tab of the database
