You confuse system users with Zope users. Your system user (the user 
Zope runs *as*) seems to be good. It should not be root, should not have 
access to anything outside Zope, and should be able to read it's own 
stuff, and write to zope/var.

Your Zope users are entirely different. The initial user created by the 
install and its password should have worked. Otherwise, use the 
procedure outlined in doc/SECURITY.txt to get an 'emergency user' so you 
can get in and fix the passwords. Remember to restart Zope after doing 
an inituser or access change.

Even if code generation could build 100 percent of the application, there will still be an endless supply of boring meetings about feature design."
