Amazon RDS Instance Password

Question

I'll preface this with the statement that I hate using these Amazon servers.

Ok what I need to know is how to find the password for a specific Amazon RDS instance. I have a live instance running my store and working on setting up a development copy. So I lauched a copy of the DB but can't seem to find the password for this new DB instance anywhere.

I created a Snapshot, then restored from the snapshot just with a new instance identifier. So would the passwords be the same on both instances?

Thanks!

If you're getting issues when using the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI), check sure you're running the most recent version of the AWS CLI.

Follow these procedures to update the master user's password:

The Amazon RDS console should now be open.
Databases to choose from
Choose Modify after you've selected the RDS DB instance.
If you're using Aurora, expand the cluster and select the instance you'd like to change. Select Modify from the drop-down menu that appears.
In the New Master Password section, enter the master user password that you want to use.
Note that the password change is asynchronous and takes effect immediately. The Apply Immediately setting is ignored in this update.
After that, select Modify DB Instance from the drop-down menu.
