Hallo, I'm searching a long time for a solution of a simple thing: How can I change the admin password in Plone 4 / Zope? When I go to the zope/manage site and look inner acl-user-folder I can't find a way for changing the password. Please excuse my poor english and the circumstance that I'm not familiar with Plone... Thanks a lot for your help! Claus asked 23 Jan '12, 01:29 mutetella |
Your 'admin' user and the users that you create via " The reason you're not seeing those users is that you have To fix this, create a new site in the WebFaction control panel, using a subdomain like "admin.your_username.webfactional.com", and add your Plone app to it (this won't affect your existing site). Wait a few minutes after making that change, then go to Once you're logged in there, you'll see all of the top-level Zope objects, like Hope that helps! answered 23 Jan '12, 09:15 seanf It works.... wonderful!

However when I click "acl_users" -> "source_users" the list contains only new added users but no user 'admin' which will created automatically during the plone/zope installation. What is wrong?

Hi, You can try logging in at: http://example.org/aq_parent/acl_users/manage This should be the root ZMI for Zope, and you should be able to edit the admin password there.

Mutella, What you have done wrong is you are login to the virtual site rather than in the Zope Management Interface (ZMI). (You do not see the Source_users in ZMI) Ryan have already answered the steps for you. Below is the full path in mine to edit the Admin as I have installed Plone directly on my Server eg http://mysite:8080/acl_users/users/manage_users/acl_users/users/manage_users MUTELLA:
