Hello BJ,
I think that xml file contains password in excrypted form. How can one
change that file in that case.
One has to put the encrypted password only in that xml file. i think
it
seems impossible to to put encrypted password in xml file?
And yet amazingly there is an encrypted password string in the XML
file...
The easiest is to load the seed, seed-initial, and whatever other
initial data you need/want and then to change the admin and related
passwords through the Party Manager, and then you're set to go. The
passwords are part of the seed-initial data, and that should never be
loaded again (though if you suspect anything has changed there, then
you can do a data set diff in webtools to see what is different
between the database and the data files and selectively make updates).
On a side note, you really should disable the admin account and not
just change the password. All users, even admin users, should have
their own individual named accounts. It's a good security practice,
and mandate for things like PCI compliance.
