There is no entry in that file for dbmaint_nagiosxi

Also this is how Nagios shows it

If there is no password listed under dbmaint_nagiosxi in xi-sys.cfg and you can log into your mysql database, you can either take the existing mysql password for the dbmaint_nagiosxi user and set that in xi-sys.cfg or you can change the dbmaint_nagiosxi user's password to match whatever you put in xi-sys.cfg.

How do we get that if we can login to the mysql box? Is there a command we can use to extract or find it?
