OK... possibly not that specific :) But now we know what we're talking
about in any case.

I'd prefer to change both the admin pass and the host record in one
action. The default admin password is known, and since the host is
accessible...

log into the database, and do:

UPDATE person SET password='**yournewpassword' WHERE username='admin';
UPDATE host SET name='www.myautomd.com' WHERE name='localhost';

The '**' in front of the new password are significant. At
'yournewpassword' fill in something not easily guessed. At
'yourvhostname' fill in the ServerName you specified in your apache
config for your Midgard-enabled VirtualHost (I picked
'www.myautomd.com' since that's what seems to work.

After changing these, you should be able to access
http://www.myautomd.com/admin/ with username 'admin' and the password
you picked above.
