It may not be related to your problem, but Im not familiar with any 
installation script called ./install. Which distribution is this?

Yes.

"waits indefinitely" is a different symptom to zope not recognising your 
password. If your browser keeps on requesting a password then Zope is running 
happily - you just havent created any user accounts yet.

I suggest you use an "emergency user" to create a password to let you in to 
the empty storage, just to be sure that there are no other problems.

After that, the FAQ has an answer to "How can I copy data from a FileStorage 
into a DirectoryStorage?"  and your original passwords will work.
