[vPostMaster] How to move to a new server?

We're wanting to move our email services from our original server and 
installation to a new one (newer distro release, too)

I've made a complete new install of vPostmaster on the new hardware and I'm 
thinking I can just shut off all the services on the old server, copy the 
spools and the postgres database, to the new server and it should work. 

The only thing that won't work is that there is, of course, a new super user 
password on the new installation (automatically generated by the vpostmaster 
install).

I can't remember all the places where that password is stored. I'm thinking 
maybe the easiest thing to do would be to change the super users's password 
in the postgresql DB to match the one on the new installation.

Will this work? Am I overlooking anything?

Thanks,

	JW
