You won't have it if you haven't upgraded before; you'll need to either create it (copy AdminSettings.sample to AdminSettings.php and then edit it) or just define $wgDBadminuser and $wgDBadminpassword in LocalSettings.php.
In fact, AdminSettings.php is not needed for latest mediawiki versions. It will try to update with the normal db user (which should then have enough permissions to do so, of course).
I ended up needing AdminSettings.php because I had to provide my root database user details - the normal user didn't have enough permissions. Maybe I'd set up something in correctly earlier, but at least the root permissions worked. Thanks
