Hi team I attempted a password rotation tonight via ALTER USER followed by env var updates. After a Postgres service restart, I'm now locked out of the database with FATAL: password authentication failed for user "postgres" on every connection (including railway connect Postgres).
The DB has data my production app depends on — please do NOT reset/recreate the service. I need either (a) a password reset on the postgres user without data loss, or (b) guidance on the safest recovery path. T
Thanks

You can reset the password through the dashboard
Open your postgres service and Go to Database and click "Config", you'll see the "Regenerate" button
you may need to redeploy the backend service to update the env variable
