Thanks! I tried this but it did not solve my problem. I can access the main admin page on port 8080 but when I try to go to the site administration site for the main web it asks for a password again and the admin password does not work.
Any other suggestions? Tom -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of V.M.

Here is how I was instructed to do so (by Joshua and it worked): 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. -- Joshua Levitsky, MCSE, CISSP System Engineer http://www.foist.org/ [5957 F27C 9C71 E9A7 274A 0447 C9B9 75A4 9B41 D4D1] I hope this works for you.
