Having an issue publishing from Sitecore

I'm getting this error when trying to publish any item from Sitecore to the web. Was working fine the other day, not sure what I did to crash this.

You can check Sitecore logs. As per my finding it is occurred because I've specified wrong username/password in connectionstrings.config. Please make sure username and password is correct.

It looks like the index configuration is corrupted.

Go to /sitecore/admin/showconfig.aspx page and find:

<locations hint="list:AddCrawler">

Check every location under that node - they all should have <Root> tag with the proper location root specified.
