yes, it's about the config.h file
    #define DEFAULT_DB_URL "mysql://openser:openserrw@localhost/openser"

and

    #define DEFAULT_RODB_URL "mysql://openserro:openserro@localhost/openser"

it is a solution, but is not quite flexible as you need to 
recompile/reinstall each time you change the passwd :).
