Thanks to all who responded! Wayne Stewart was able to wave his magic wand and make the Designer Password go away. I have now reset it.
There was a comment that if I had access to the design environment via the Administrator login, an option would be to just leave things the way they were. That certainly would have worked; but, I could not in good conscience depot a system in that condition into a customer’s environment. I feel mush better now! Again, thanks to all!
