Note that you can also replace everything following the colon in the access file with a plaintext password, thus changing the superuser password. That works too.

You'll want to use the zpasswd.py file included with Zope to change your access file:

python zpasswd.py access ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

The fact that the password is encrypted makes the following info on the default Zope page pretty useless:

"You will be prompted for the username and password you used when you ran the Zope install utility. If you have forgotten, it is stored in the access file in the Zope directory."

I had assumed (without running it) that zpasswd.py would require me to enter the ORIGINAL password in order to change the password. Apparently this is incorrect. I'll give it a try.

Thanks to all the quick responses.
