[support] changing dtabase password question

[Earnie Boyd]

It should work.  Just be sure to make a backup first of the DB first.
And before making the changes to settings.php, make sure you are
logged in as user 1 and have the site in maintenance mode.  Change
settings.php and clear the cache tables.
