The best way is to create an emergency user which can be used to fix such 
problems. Emergency users can access and modify anything, but cannot create 
objects. To create an emergency user, you need to execute the following 
command in your zope install directory:

python zpasswd.py -u emergencyusername -p password access

Substitute your own username and password of course.
