Body: <p>For my own reasons, I needed to change the Civi database user password. After doing so in my hosts CP, this of course broke CiviCRM (WP). I'm a Civi newbie so I was expecting I might be able to easily find the file to change the pw like WP's wpconfig file. No such luck.</p>
  
  <p>What files and their locations must I change so I can reconnect Civi to its DB?</p>
