Paul,

Here are the steps I had to do in the same situation on Mandrake..

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

To reset the admin password (on Mandrake) as root type:

cd /var/lib/zope
zpasswd -u admin -p <password> access

Now login as the admin and create another user that is a manager  under acl_users. The logoff and back in as the new user and you are on your way....

Regards

Anthony

use zpasswd.py to create a file 'inituser' and create an initial account
username and password.  Altertaively you can reinstall and be sure to 
captyure the initial user information.

I've got Zope running but when I go to localhost:8080/manage I get a
dialogbox wanting a user name and password.  I didn't know what it was
wanting so I created an "access" file using zpasswd.py but apparently it
doesn't see this file because when I enter the user name and password that
I put in the access file zope just regenerates the prompt dialogbox.

I have made sure that I enter username/password exactly as found in the
access file, I've tried copying th access file into the zope directory,
that had no positive effect so I copied it into the zserver directory and
that had no positive effect either.

Could some kind soul please tell me how to get into Zope?

Thanks for any help that might be offered.

Paul
