Hi Hamzatk looks like your mail got mangled my the mail client... Your having problems creating the access file under Windows? I've really not used zope much on Windows having now moved to Linux no my desktop, but I'm pretty sure it should work... Ok, there are a few posibilities 1) Python is not in your path, and therefore the python program did not run... 2) There is a problem due to the lack of some of the unix libraries under windows (but this is unlikely) 3) Something else is getting in the way? Ok, so, here goes... You'll want to be in a dos / command prompt window change to your Zope Root directory type the command if it doesn't work, copy the error messages and what you typed (all of it if possible) and post it back to the list so we can see whats happening... There are lots of windows people out there, so were sure to be able to sort this one quickly... I expect its something simple:-) Chris hamzatk@3dresearch.com wrote:

As far as I know, they are not going to be the same as any on your system, when Zope installs for the first time (in a normal install) it creates a username and password... Once you have logged in you _MUST_ create a new user, log out and log in again. The default user does not allow you to do much.

Under SuSE there may be a default password, but I suspect that it is generated randomly...

The good news is that zope comes with a script that allows you to change this 'emergency' password so that you can get in should you forget your password.

To do this, you need to go to your Zope directory, and run the zpasswd.py file like this python zpasswd.py -u"MyEmergencyUserName" -p"MyEmergencyPassword" access

I tried it and didn't work for me on win 98. Is there another way to do it on win platform?

access is the name of the file that contains the emergency user.

When you restart zope you will be able to log in with this username and password.

Hope that gets you up and running...
