Hello
I am currently running zope on windows and i a have ran into a bit of a problem. I was in the middle of creating a new user and i began to play around with the various options in acl_users. The last thing i remember doing was pressing the "encrpyt all passwords button" and saving the changes
I logged out and tried to log back in again with the new user that i had just created but it wouldnt accept the username and passwd. So i tried to use my existing user names and it wouldnt accept any of them either.The postion im in now is that iam totally locked out of the zmi.
I dont know how to create an emergency user in windows, if i have to even do this at all. Please help me. Looking forward to hearing from you Thanks liam
This is a known bug in 2.5.1. The easiest way to create the emergency user (IIRC) is to do this (unix): echo 'argh:argh' > inituser Sign in as argh (pw: argh), give admin a new password, sign in as admin, and delete argh and inituser.
