[Zope] Help -- I migrated Data.fs and my administrator was lost

[Tino Wildenhain]

Hi Bryan,

first of all, user credentials (beside emergency user,
which is stored in file 'access') is in Data.fs.
So if you copy the Data.fs, you copy the users too.
If something went wrong, you should look with the emergency
user. If its hard to DOS-cd to paths with spaces,
(you can do it with cd c:, cd Program Files, cd Zope
- you only type the name with the spaces. At least my
dos box is ugly enough to let it work. You can also
use "" around it)

You can make your access file on linux and copy it over to
your windows box.
