Security in Joomla! 3.x • change database password

I need to change the password for my Joomla database (mySQL). Haven't been able to find the answer anywhere. I see the db username, dbname, host and p/w in the configuration.php file. Do I just edit that file? It kinda bothers me that all that information is hanging out there in the root of the website in plain text. Shouldn't the configuration file be locked up somewhere? It has (0444) Unix permissions.
