Manage your Lightsail database password
When you create a new database in Amazon Lightsail, you can let Lightsail create a strong password for you or specify your own. You can view or change the current database password at any time in the Lightsail console.
To manage your database password

On the Lightsail home page, choose the Databases tab.
