You can

a) create a new one in MySQL using "grant all on '<yourDBName>.*' to
'<username>'@'localhost' identified by '<password>'"

b) verify the one you have using mysql -u <username>

The DB passwords are stored in <yoursitedir>/typo3conf/localconf.php
as $typo3_db_username and $typo3_db_password variables. Note that
these variables may be reassigned in the same file, so the _very_last_
assignment in the file is the one used.
