Connections uses the same WordPress database as WordPress itself pretty much just like any other plugin, nothing special other than it uses custom tables within the database which is really common. Those tables are all accessed using WordPress. So, guess what I am trying to say is if you change the db password in the wp-config, WordPress will use it and since Connections uses WordPress, Connections will use it too.

If you could give me more details on what you mean by dead, that would be helpful. A couple times a year I do get similar requests for help and it ends up that Connections was not either installed or activated. Can you confirm that it is please. Thanks!
