I've just installed Zope version 2.7.2-5.1 under SuSE 9.2 Pro, using
apt.  The installation is fine and localhost:8080 comes up just fine as
expected.  However, I can't log in to the management site at
localhost:8080/manage.
I've run zpasswd.py access and zpasswd.py inituser:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
linux:/opt/zope/bin # ./zpasswd.py access
Username: admin
Password:
Verify password:
Please choose a format from:
SHA - SHA-1 hashed password (default)

linux:/opt/zope/bin # ./zpasswd.py inituser

I ran both these with zope disabled and then re-started zope: but I
still can't get a password accepted when I try to login to the
management page.
Could somebody please put me out of my misery.  I'm sure I've missed
something very elementary.
You've been running 'zpasswd.py' in the wrong place:  those files need
to be created in your instance home, not in the 'bin' directory of your
Zope software installation.

Rather than running it directly, try running your instance's 'zopectl',
e.g.:

  $ cd /path/to/zope/instance
  $ bin/zopectl

Then, at the 'zopectl>' prompt, run its 'adduser' command:

  zopectl> adduser admin 123

Which will add the user in the 'acl_users' of your Zope root in the ZODB.
