I have phpMyAdmin installed, and I used it to browse the database.
Alternatively, you can handle things from the command line. The
following will tell you what password you entered into myth:

$ mysql -u mythtv -pmythtv
mysql> use mythconverg
mysql> select * from videosource;

(Note the semicolon.)
If the password is in error, you can try something like:
mysql> update videosource set password='foobar' where userid='rodney'

(note the single quotes, put real values between them.)

Caveats:  Today's the first time I looked at the mythtv database and I
just learned sql two weeks ago.  You should backup your db before
hacking on it. Also, it's possible something else is up.
