You can change the password that SMF uses when connecting to the database in Settings.php. However, this must be the same as the password you set for the user account SMF is connecting with - changing this will not have any effect on what the actual database password is.

i even called godaddy an they said its not showing because i changed the password on the database i have to change the password smf connects to the database or retrieve the old password i do not know where to do that at

If you don't know what the new password is, then you will either need to change the password to something you can remember, or have GoDaddy reset it for you (yes, they can do that - someone there will have root access to MySQL).
