Log in as the emergency user; the user name defined in the 'access' file. If
you don't have an access file in your INSTANCE_HOME, create it with the
zpasswd.py tool and restart the server.

The emergency user has access to everything regardless of permission
settings, but cannot create new objects (except for acl_user folders).
