The mythtv account/password is NOT part of a backup! It's part of<br>
your mySQL/MariaDB installation.<br>
<br>
So if you setup a mythtv account and password in your new installation<br>
it's that. If you haven't you will still have to do that as then there<br>
not yet is a mythtv account in the database. How to do that you can<br>
find in the WIKI.<br>
