As a user with write access in the Zope root directory, run the command

  python zpasswd.py access

to set a new superuser id and password.

By default the start script runs zserver in debug mode, which means
it does *not* run in deamon mode and does not release the terminal.
So ctrl-C terminated Zope/zserver.  Edit start and remove the '-D'
to have it run in deamon mode.
