[mythtv-users] Can't change Web Frontend Password

[John Goerzen]

Hello,

I can properly log in to the Web front end using the default admin user
and mythtv password.  When I try to change it, however, I get an error
in the browser and this in the backend logs:

Jun 12 11:38:00 mythtv mythbackend: mythbackend[1109]: E HttpServer60
servicehost.cpp:152 (Invoke) MethodInfo::Invoke - An Exception Occurred:
Incorrect Old Password supplied when trying to change password for 'admin'.
Jun 12 11:38:00 mythtv mythbackend: mythbackend[1109]: E HttpServer60
servicehost.cpp:451 (ProcessRequest) Incorrect Old Password supplied
when trying to change password for 'admin'.

What's more, the API gave the same:

curl --data UserName=admin\&OldPassword=mythtv\&NewPassword=asdfasdf
http://localhost:6544/Myth/ChangePassword
curl --data UserName=admin\&OldPassword=mythtv\&NewPassword=asdfasdf
http://localhost:6544/Myth/ChangePassword
<?xml version="1.0"
encoding="utf-8"?><detail><errorCode>501</errorCode><errorDescription>Incorrect
Old Password supplied when trying to change password for
'admin'.</errorDescription></detail>

I have verified that ~/.mythtv is writable by the MythTV user (the
backend has put a lot of other stuff there too).

How can I get this set so that it's not so insecure?  Is there a file I
can edit somewhere?
