In table "users" of your db you can see the record system, then you can change or see the password field.

Right, in psql "select password from users where first_names =
'system';" should do it.

Unless you've enabled encrypting of passwords in the database...

We got the same problem.  One of the developers had changed the password by accident.  How do we reset it?  We have password encription enabled, so we can't know which is the password when we select password from users table.
