Resetting database and user passwords:

The password for a MS SQL or MYSQL database can be reset from the Control Panel on a Windows hosting Plan. A MS Access Database doesn't not have a username or password to login. MySQL database on a Linux Plan can be changed through the cPanel. 

Likewise, you can add a new username and password.
