So I'm following the "The Zope Bible" and navigate to the management page (/manage) and immediately realize I forgot my site admin password.  I am root on the SuSE Linux 7.3 Pro box it runs on.  Is there a way for me to change or discover the password?

run zpasswd.py in the zope installation directory.
e.g.

python zpasswd.py -u new_user_name -p new_password

Then you can log in with this emergency user and create
a new user for yourself.  (You can't use the emergency 
user for normal zope maintenance - it's just to rescue you
from this kind of problem.)
