database login

How can I find the credentials of the 'askbot' user that accesses our postgres database. The person who set up our askbot internal server left the company and we have no record of this information.

I have been looking through what appears to be our installation of askbot 0.10.2. Where would the postgres credentials be stored?

To be clear, I am not asking where to find what is stored in postgres. I can find that and, of course, it is an encrypted password for user askbot. What I am asking is whether the password is stored somewhere in the askbot installation files (in a config file somewhere).

I finally found the information myself. I had been looking in what I thought was the installation but it was something else. Once I found the real installation, the file in question (settings.py) was easy to find.
