Changing passwords

[B.lee2]

I just noticed that the default goautodial passwords were not very original.
First order of business is to change all of them, but I don't want to break something by accident... Is there any caveats I should be aware of before changing things like MySQL passwords?

yep. don't do it. lock mysql ports instead. just sayin'. or you'll have to search for all uses of the password in question and change it everywhere. used to be a perl script to do this, but it seems to have fallen into disrepair. also lock the phpmyadmin folder so noone can use "localhost" through that interface to get into your mysql.
