backup

I have a mySQL database behind a Joomla install. I changed the database password because I forgot it but now Joomla crashes looking for the database.

I guess joomla has the password written somewhere - if anyone knows I might be able to manual edit it and enter the new database password.

Otherwise I'm hoping a manual install of a backup of the original database will work. I need to know does a backup include the database password. If yes, will reinstating my original database solve the problem for me by reverting the system back to it's original password?

Please help. thx, s.
