Try : $ cd <your zope root> $ python zpasswd.py -u admin -p secret inituser $ python zpasswd.py -u admin -p secret access Note: it's either "inituser" or "access" depending on Zope version, running both makes the job ;-) Now restart Zope and test with this credential. Create immediately a Manager user in the Zope folder /acl_users. Carry on working with this Manager credential.
