This should probably be on the pimki-users mailing list, but it can
also apply to instiki:

* If you don't need the old contents, delete the storage directory and
start afresh :-)

* If you like hex editing, unzip a snapshot file and open the contents
in a binary editor. Towards the end of the file you'll find 'system{'
followed by 'password' followed by a few non-printable chars and then
the password.

* If you prefer source hacking, just go to one of the templates (e.g.
<gems-dir>app/views/top.rhtml), add something like:

  Password: <%= wiki.system['password'] %>

at the bottom; fire up the wiki and go to the HomePage. Write down the
password, and undo your edits to the template.


HTH,
Assaph
