database username/password

Hi,

I have a website and am using coldfusion and dreamweaver.  My hosting service requires that, in order to access the database, you must define a username and password in the code.  Its working online, but in order to get it working on my localhost I have to delete the username and password from the code.  Is there some way I can make my localhost need to access the database with the same username and password my hosting service requires?  It's a pain having to work on a page and constantly switch between no username and password to a defined username and password in the code.
