<quote from his message>

stop zope.  go to zope's directory (wherever you installed it).  add a text
file there with the name:
inituser
that file should contain a single line:
admin:123
then start zope.  you should now be able to get in as admin with password
123
you can change that after you log in.

hope that helps,

Q1: Does this fix it?

Q2: Before the above, what happens when you try Netscape?

Several other people recently have have not succeded to login after they
installed zope. If anyone can confirm the answer to this horrible problem
