Where in mainfile.php does database/password go?

I've been running xoops on my site for a few months now with no problems. I just transferred to a new host, and I'm having trouble finding where I update the database/password. I've looked at mainfile.php but can't find anywhere in there that information to change. I don't know how I'm missing it, so can someone help? Like providing a snippet of the actual code?

Since my site is down, I don't know what version it is.

In 2.5 the database/password were moved out of mainfile.php for security reasons.

That's why you look in the file mamba suggested but that is only since 2.5.
