What file(s) contain the connections to the mysql database? I want to change my database name and password, but I need to change the connections in the mybb files. Which ones are they?

Well if you're changing your database username and password you should just update the values in inc/config.php

If you're still looking for where the database connection happens then it is in inc/init.php:

// Connect to Database
define("TABLE_PREFIX", $config['table_prefix']);
$db->connect($config['hostname'], $config['username'], $config['password']);
$db->select_db($config['database']);

Thanks, so if I change it in the first file, it won't screw up my forum?

As long as its done correctly, it will not If you have any questions or concerns about it feel free to pm me considering the config stores confidential information about the database details.
