AWS Ubuntu / MariaDB / MySQL can't view tables but data looks like it's there

Recently my phpBB forums stopped working with DB errors, I tried to go and view the tables and nothing returns. I went to the /lib/ mysql directory and the DB directory is there and full of the files many very large, but I cannot access them.

I also get authentication errors now. I have root/ownership of the domain.

Ubuntu is the latest LTS release.

Can someone help?
