Bug Description
Binary package hint: mythtv-database
The mythtv-database configuration dialog prompts the user to enter the password for the root mysql account. I'd say a good number of users get rather confused here. The help button has an excellent explanation of what the default password is. The help dialog should be removed and this explanation should just be put on the main configuration page. I think this would help a lot of people out.

An even better setup would be if it could test the password the user enters to make sure it's correct. It's a real bummer to enter the wrong password and have to reconfigure the package after a bit of troubleshooting.
