Thank you for your very helpful replies. I got it working and have no idea what I must have kept doing wrong. Something about the encrypt method must be 'challenged' as I kept trying CRYPT. Only one I did not try was SHA. Thanks again. -----Original Message----- From: sgendler@impossible.com [mailto:sgendler@impossible.com] Sent: Tuesday, January 25, 2000 3:13 PM To: rgeiger@bellsouth.net Cc: Zope Mailing List Subject: Re: [Zope] HELP: can't get Admin logon to work!!! To ensure that you are setting the password correctly, and that zope is reading it correctly, you can edit the access file directly, and leave the password in clear text. Once everythng is working, then use zpasswd.py to encrypt it properly. Just put superuser:123 in the first line of the access file, and then log in as superuser with password 123. Once that works, do python zpasswd.py -u superuser -p 123 access Make sure you compiled python with the SHA module included. Otherwise, add -e CRYPT to the line. Even then, zpasswd.py might require sha to run, regardless of whether it is used. --sam Robert Geiger wrote:
I can't seem to get the superuser logon to work.
I have tried the zpasswd.py utility, restarted, etc. ... several times. I try to log on from the localhost or other machines on LAN and I can't get in.
How can I definitively RESET the damned superuser password in the access file???
Thanks for your help.
