Hi, I just gave mythtv a try and I figured that it is too much for what I need. So I uninstalled it. But to get it working in the first place I set a password for mysql. Without MythTV I don't need mysql anymore either and I want to uninstall it. But will the password I set earlier still be there and in affect again if I install mysql again (which I might do at some point in the future)? If so I'd like to 'remove' that password, but how do I do that?

http://www.tech-faq.com/reset-mysql-password.shtml does this help?
Password shouldn't be there if I'm not mistaken never had it carry over in my experience

Yeah, that certainly does go into the right direction. Only that I don't want to reset the password to a different one, I'd like to kill it.
Pretty much I want everything that belongs to mysql to be gone, so maybe it's easier if I figure out what files where created by mysql that are still present after the uninstallation of it with pacman and to erase these files manually.
I don't know which one is better, all I know is: I don't need mysql now, so I want to uninstall it. If in the future I'll need to install mysql and use it I want it to be a "fresh mysql install" without any configuration leftovers from today. So whatever you think will be the best way for me to achieve that, I will do it. :>
