Even when you have not packed, you do not need to reinstall
Zope. Just copy "Data.fs.in" to "Data.fs" in your "var"
folder.

That resets the ZODB content to the initial state.
You may also need to create an "inituser" or "access" file
(to be able to login again). There is a HowTo about
"emergency user" explaining how to do that.
