[mythtv-users] Mythbuntu 14.04 fresh install trouble restoring old database

[blind Pete]

Hi, 

I've just done several fresh installations of Mythbuntu 14.04.1
LTS Trusty Tahr.  There have been a few puzzles to solve.  After
fumbling through most of them, this one has me stumped.  

$ /usr/share/mythtv/mythconverg_restore.pl
--directory /mnt/tv/mythbuntu/db_backups   --filename
mythbuntu-system-backup_PPlive_20141118-0900_MBE_YESDB.tar.gz

ERROR: Unable to do a full restore. The database contains data.

MythTV 0.28 seems to be working quite happily, as it was on Mythbuntu
12.04 Precise Pangolin, but it does not want to look at the old
database.  

The things that I have done include; 
calling the machine "PPlive" again, not "TTLive", 
lots of playing with passwords in ~/.mythtv/*.  
DBPassword is set to what it was on the old installation.  

In config.xml what is Password for as distinct from DBPassword?

From previous attempts doing a restore from Mythbuntu Control Centre
stops things from working.
