---------------

        Zope has a special user account for emergency use known as the
        *emergency user*. We discussed the emergency user briefly in
        Chapter 2, "Using Zope". The emergency user is not restricted
        by normal security settings. However, the emergency user
        cannot create any new objects with the exception of new user
        objects.

           MAKE SURE TO Turn Zope off when you run zpasswd.py access, it worked when i enter the old username with old
           password as my emergency user, then I just changed the password back and it was the admin user once again.
