Josh,
 
I followed your instructions and they seemed to work but there was not a new entry put in the service.pwd file. I was still not able to log in. I also tried restarting the service but that didn't help.
 
Also, my admin port is set to something other than 8090. Does that matter?

There is a Frontpage master admin (g-d) account. This user can access the
main admin page on port 8090 and extend webs and do admin type things. The
master admin account is stored in

/usr/local/frontpage/version5.0/admin-exes/_vti_pvt/

service.grp
service.pwd

The way to change the master admin is to edit service.grp file to change
"root" (or whatever usename you had in there) to be whatever you want. Then open service.pwd and delete the line with "root" . Now to change the encrypted password stored in service.grp
you type this... (replacing root with whatever you put in service.grp)

htpasswd -n root

and enter the new password when prompted. The line that is returned will be
the replacement line to paste in to service.pwd.

You have now updated the master admin password. I think there isn't an
easier way to do this simply because it is a very powerful account.

For some reason I have forgotten my password.
 
Can I use owsadm.exe to change the password for the administrative user. Or is there a way to tell what the administrative users name is, maybe I have it wrong.
 
Thanks for any help
 
Vilmo
