I, stupidly, changed the password on the database user for my Piwigo database through my web hosting cPanel interface while troubleshooting an issue I was having. Now I get the following error:

Warning: mysqli::__construct(): (HY000/1045): Access denied for user 'dbuser'@'localhost' (using password: YES) in /home/.../public_html/gallery/include/dblayer/functions_mysqli.inc.php on line 67

Is there a way to update the password for the database user to properly reflect the new password I set? I would change the password back, but I changed it in the first place because I wasn't able to remember it and was trying to connect directly to the database. (in retrospect, I should have created a new database user for the direct connection - like I said, stupid!)
