Hello,

I need to integrate a product on my discourse by adding some tables to the discourse db in postgres. Where can I find the username and password for the PostGres DB Discourse is using.

I also wanted to ask if I change the postgres password like its suggested here:

```
 ./launcher enter app
su - postgres
psql
ALTER ROLE postgres WITH PASSWORD 'your-new-password';

```

will that break discourse or will discourse work with that new password…
