Instiki users - Feb 2006 - [Instiki] [OT] trying to find help with pimki

Hello,

I''m just installed pimki (as gem).  It apparently found an a previous
installation that I thought that I''d deleted.  How do I find, or reset,
the
admin password?

Thanks,

Warren

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,
