[Zope] Zope on SuSE 8.2 -- What initial user name and password do Iuse?

[Declan Shanaghy]

you can run ./install in zope root to reinstall the admin
password, it will print it on the console for you, just use
it in the dialog box.
im not sure of other affects this might have, but i have
done it a few times without repercussion.
You may have to move troublesome products from /Products or
/lib/python/Products if you get compilation errors during
./install.
What i do is, shut down zope, move troublesome products to
my home directory, run ./install, move them back, start
zope.
