With IC being very, very flexible, your MySQL username and
password could be stored just about anywhere.  If, however,
your catalog is based on Foundation, you might find that
information in products/variable.txt - look for SQLUSER and
SQLPASS.  If they are not there, you might consider doing
some case-insensitive greps for those keys.  Also see
dbconf/mysql/mysql.cfg.

For MySQL, you want to look into commands like mysqladmin,
etc., but AFAIK, you'll need the administrative password in
MySQL to change another account's password (short of reinstalling
it - and knowing that usually goes hand-in-hand with knowing
how to administer MySQL to some degree.

Beyond that, you also have to question how much twiddling
you feel comfortable doing on a running system at a point
when you are very unfamiliar with it.
