[Zope] Re: delete a folder without ZMI?

[Jens Vagelpohl]

the emergency user is explained in the file named "SECURITY.txt" in the 
doc directory off of the root of your zope install.

or, to make it even simpler, cd to your zope root directory and do 
this::

echo "superuser:123" >>access

this will generate the "access" file and after restarting zope you can 
log in as "superuser" with password "123". to get rid of this login 
after you're done simply delete the "access" file and restart zope 
again.
