[mythtv-users] Help with mythtv user account setup

[mythtv at red2.braveturtle.com]

That was a good thought, but unfortunately it did not solve my problem. 
According to /etc/shadow, the password for user "mythtv" was not locked.

Anyone else have an idea why when I try to login as "mythtv" it tells me
that the "the system administrator has disabled your account" and won't
let me log in?

Thanks,

Sean
