Ouch! - you'll like it once you get started.

I'm running zserver, I tried the default

Try this;
Edit 'access' with a simple text editor, delete the entire line.
Replace the entire line with
superuser:123
then (assuming unix - my only domain knowledge wrt Zope)
% ./stop
% ./start

See if you can login now - the {SHA} stuff isn't there anymore (might be

getting in the way - although I can't figure out why that might be the case).

Are you connecting to the right server? (assumes you're running multiple

servers, possibly on multiple ports).

You're not frontending ZServer with Apache are you? (to get authentication in

this instance means you need to use ReWrite rules in Apache).

If the answer to all these questions is "yes, yes, of course I am" then I'm

baffled. Sorry.
