Your settings.php file is in the subdirectory "sites/default" under drupal (sites/default/settings.php). You need to edit the $db_url line and change the password.

To be able to edit that file, first you must make writable the "settings.php" file (chmod 644) and its containing directory "default" (chmod 755). (Most FTP clients have a "permissions" or "properties" menu when you right-click on the name of a file or a directory.)
