Have you restarted Zope? the emergency user only gets recognized after zope starts Also, the emergency user doesn't really get created in the acl_users. Rather, it's login and password are recognized as a less powerful user, that is able to fiddle with the users in acl_users and create/delete acl_users around the site. Another thing you might try is to create an "inituser" file instead of an "access" file in Zope instalation dir with zpasswd.py and then restart Zope. Be warned, though, that doing so will erase all other users in Zope Root acl_users and create only the single user you specified in inituser.
