Yep. Whereever you need to enter the database connection details, you need to change too.

At least in the config.php. If you have any other tools running, which needs the same informations as in config.php for phpBB itself, then you need to change them too. If not, the config.php is the only one.

Thanks Femu, have found that file, but in it, it says :
<?php
// phpBB 3.0.x auto-generated configuration file
// Do not change anything in this file!

I assume it's ok to ignore that last line and just go ahead and change the password ?

Yes, that message is just to deter people who might not know what they're doing.
