I've checked every mysql.txt file on the system and they all have
'mythtv' as the password.<br>
<br>
I think I (or something) has screwed up the master mysql password and
that's why I can't get in to it. I've followed tutorials to reset the
password, but that hasn't worked. That's why I resorted to uninstalling
mysql-server and putting it back, but the problem persists!<br>

<pre wrap="">the problem is, that Mythtv creates a text file with a random
password mysql besides the password you setup in mythtv-setup, I
don't remember exactly where it is located but its name is mysql.txt,
i think it is /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt if you edit that file and change
the password to your actual Mysql password then it should work...
the edgy installation sets the password to mythtv, so usually you
just change user and password to mythtv, do the same mythtv-setup and
it should work

<pre wrap="">I'm still getting nowhere with this.
The last time I went through trying to instal mythtv, i the mysql
password was blank (enter), but it doesn't seem to be now.
I've tried everything to reset it (found a few different pages on it,
but nothing worked)
decided to remove mysql-server using synaptic package manager, then
reinstatl it. Still didn't seem to work.
Then tried taking everything away using synaptic
(mysql-sever, mythtv-frontend, mythtv-backend and mythtv-database)
rebooting
then putting them all back
after I did that, I got this error message
dpkg-reconfigure --force mythtv-database
dpkg: error processing mythtv-database (--configure):
subprocess post-instillation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encounted while processing:
myth-database
but I think that's still just to do with not being able to accesss the
mysql database.
How the hell do I reset the mysql password in Edgy 6.10? I don't
remember changing it and it's not blank, 'mythtv' or any of my login
passwords. I'm close to formatting and starting again, please help.
