Can't find password for user for backing up vCenter Server Appliance vPostgres database

$

We're running version 6 of vCenter Server Appliance, and I am trying to make a manual backup of our vPostgres db. However, following the instructions here (Backing up and restoring the vCenter Server Appliance 5.x vPostgres database (2034505) | VMware KB), I do not see an entry for "EMD_DB_PASSWORD" in /etc/vmware-vpx/embedded_db.cfg. I am asked for the password when I execute the command  ./pg_dump VCDB -U vc -Fp -c > /tmp/VCDBackUp but do not have that password.

 

I know that I'm running version 6 but the instructions are for 5.X. Do the steps vary that much? Can anyone make any suggestions?
