Turn off the power before you open the cover.
Thermostat is there.

Your water heater is so dead! Leaking like a sieve. Replace the whole unit before you have a flood and absolutely no hot water.
 
Probably ALREADY DEAD

That's why he wants to turn it up.

Circuit breaker at your main electrical panel.
It will be two 30 amp switches.
Don't play around with it .
Best you call a Pro.
You need a voltage tester to make sure you have it off.
