Laurent Rathle lost her Zope password and asks how to get one again. Shut Zope down. Then from a command line session, run the script zpasswd.py (on Windows it's in the top-level Zope directory). This will give let you assign a new superuser name and password. Then start Zope again. If you just lost an admin password but still have the superuser's password, to get things started, then you can log in as superuser, open the top-level acl folder and assign new passwords from there.

Go to your zope home directory... $cd {zope} {zope}$ su Password: {zope}# python zpasswd.py access This will bring up a list of prompts Username:admin #the name of the super user Password: #the new password Verify Password: #the new password again Please choose a format from: SHA - SHA-1 hashed password CRYPT - UNIX-style crypt password CLEARTEXT - no protection. Encoding: #type of password (SHA or CRYPT advisable #for security reasons. CLEARTEXT means #that the password is kept like that and #anyone with access to the file has #aoutomatic access to your admin password. Domain restrictions: #leave blank util you've read & understood #the howto posted earlier by Tino ie http://www.zope.org/Documentation/Misc/SECURITY.txt {zope}# You are then ready to login with your username and password. Note that {zope} refers to your zope "home" directory ie the one in which the start script resides. My 2 cents, Patrick. On Wed, 11 Apr 2001, Laurent Rathle wrote:

wooppss!! That was just assuming that you are using a *nix platform. On win32 you will end up going thru something similar... lookup the howto. Welcome To ZOPE, Patrick. On Wed, 11 Apr 2001, Patrick wrote:
