Silly me, I lost my password to the zope-management interface. I try to set a new one via the shell, but I receive following error:

[root@*** zope]# python zpasswd.py inituser Username: admin Password: *** Verify password: ***

Please choose a format from:

SHA - SHA-1 hashed password (default) CRYPT - UNIX-style crypt password CLEARTEXT - no protection

Encoding: SHA Traceback (innermost last): File "zpasswd.py", line 200, in ? if __name__=='__main__': main(sys.argv) File "zpasswd.py", line 184, in main if encoding.upper() in ['SHA', 'CRYPT', 'CLEARTEXT']: AttributeError: 'string' object has no attribute 'upper'

Are you using the python that comes with zope? Perhaps the python that comes with your linux isn't the same one of the one that you use with zope. Some old python versions doesn't support things like: myString.upper() So, you had better try: PathToMyZope/bin/python zpasswd.py inituser or if you compiled python from source, you should use this path.
