Description:
The only statement in "CHANGE MASTER" about reset slave is:

"Issuing RESET SLAVE resets the heartbeat interval to the default."

Yet, "Reset Slave" also does the following.

Connection information stored in the master.info file is immediately
reset using any values specified in the corresponding startup options.
This information includes values such as master host, master port,
master user, and master password. 

So if someone does a reset slave in combination with "Change Master" all setting from "Change Master" are gone!

How to repeat:
n/a

Suggested fix:
Add comment about loss of master info and add link to "Reset Slave"
