[support] db password change

[Earnie Boyd]

For the record 644 is a better mode for settings.php than 755.  You
don't want someone trying to execute the file as a script.  When
creating a new site all you need to do in the sites/mysite directory is
create an empty settings.php file (cd sites/mysite && touch
settings.php).  The default.settings.php file in the sites/default
directory is for Drupal to use for default values and to validate a
correct structure.
