I'll preface this with the statement that I hate using these Amazon servers.
Ok what I need to know is how to find the password for a specific Amazon RDS instance. I have a live instance running my store and working on setting up a development copy. So I lauched a copy of the DB but can't seem to find the password for this new DB instance anywhere.
I created a Snapshot, then restored from the snapshot just with a new instance identifier. So would the passwords be the same on both instances?
Thanks!

You can't. For security reasons they set it up so that, if you lose the password, the only way to recover is to either guess what it was or to reset it. If this is done properly there is no way for anybody, even if they work for AWS, to know what password you had.
Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the Amazon RDS console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/rds/ . In the navigation pane, choose Databases to display a list of your DB instances. Choose the name of the DB instance to display its details. On the Connectivity & security tab, copy the endpoint.
Yes, they should have the same password.
