I had everything working just fine and then I went and upgraded...  I
bet you've done that too...

Anyway, I am getting the following error when I start the backend as
root:


	mythtv at earth: mythtv$ mythbackend
	Unable to connect to database!
	Driver error was [1/-1]:
	QMYSQL3: Unable to connect
	Database error was:
	Access denied for user: 'mythtv at localhost' (Using password: YES)

	couldn't open db

Now, the password is set to nothing...

	mysql> select host,user,password from user where user like "mythtv";
	+------+--------+----------+
	| host | user   | password |
	+------+--------+----------+
	| %    | mythtv |          |
	+------+--------+----------+
	1 row in set (0.00 sec)

But as far as I can tell from the previous error msg. Myth is trying to
use a password...

help...
