I recently managed to lock myself out of zope. Is there a way to recover/copy the database containing the DTML documents/ZSQL methods etc. to a new installation? I have had no success in logging into zope with the new superuser I created.. It will not help you, as the encrypted passwords will move with you and you will have the same problems in the new installation.

Search the mailing lists for "tranalyser" (I never know the precise spelling, can also be "tranalyzer"). You will find a recent post that explains how to use it in order to find a cutting point where to you can trancate the ZODB to get rid of the desastrous actions. I think, I remember to have seen a HowTo, too, on Zope.org (-> corrupted ZODB). Dieter
