did you try the superuser account? in Linux it would be: in the var directory create a file called "access" in the access file type the following: superuser:123 restart zope. then login as superuser with password 123. -----Original Message----- From: zope-admin@zope.org [mailto:zope-admin@zope.org] On Behalf Of Marc Stein Sent: Saturday, March 01, 2003 2:58 PM To: zope@zope.org Subject: [Zope] Really stupid acl_users mistake I am quite new to Zope and have done something VERY stupid. I created an acl_users folder within an existing folder and added myself as a user. I did not however select either Manager or Owner and now cannot access the folder. Is there a way that I can either programmatically delete the user folder or change the permissions to allow access to this folder? I am the only current user on the system. Many thanks in advance.

Make a manager with a different name in a parent folder and go in and fix your problem. --jcc
