You should not modify it, you can know the password of the database user
using `sudo koha-passwd kohadev`, but the command will return the same
value as the xml config file.
Try to connect to mysql using `mysql -u koha_library -p` and enter the
password.
If it is rejected, you did something wrong when you create the instance. If
it is not rejected it should not be rejected from the interface either.
