Yes, if /etc/odapw was not touched, you can re-install OSCAR with the
same password (/etc/odapw) and OSCAR would not try to change the
password in /etc/odapw and OSCAR database(user table in mysql database)
because /etc/odapw is already there. Restoring an OSCAR dump file only
restores the database "oscar" and does change any password thing in
"mysql" database.
Anyways, like I said, a user who knows the root password of mysql can
update the OSCAR database password accordingly anytime. So, I would not
need to backup/restore /etc/odapw but would like to find a way to manage
the root password safely instead.
But there was my bad understanding. emptying /etc/odapw may not
re-generate oscar database properly. (I would make this work too if this
is a right thing to do.)
