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?
Vilmos
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.

Subject: [Apache-FP] Lost
password
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
