Hello @Jagjeett Singh .

Hope you have taken the backup of the dbconfig.xml file which will contain the DBname, username, and password from which you can extract it.

 

Regards,
Mayur

Did you checked weather your database is running or not may be that could be the reason to get this error.

Your database is in the same sever or different server.

You can check with 

systemctl status postgresql

or

status postgresql-9.6 status

 where postgresql-9.6 you can replace with your database version.

Please check status success is showing

@Jagjeett Singh You should be able to just update it on the DB server and then update your dbconfig with the new password following the instructions found here for your specific DB https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiraserver073/connecting-jira-applications-to-a-database-861253039.html
