[pmwiki-users] Help with my pmwiki and passwords revisited

[Thomas Zunder]

Hi folks!

Due to a variety of work pressures I am only now able to revisit this.

I have done as suggested below and changed my default password for admin.
I have commented out the edit password.
I can now edit the wiki happily.

Could I ask if someone could advise how to test the admin password?

If the only passwords in use on your wiki were the ones set in
config.php, it should be quite straight-forward. If you've used
AuthUser, and have per-group and/or per-page permissions, it might be
a bit harder.

Go ahead and change at least the admin password in your config.php
file, then try logging in with it to edit things.

$DefaultPasswords['admin'] = crypt('mysekritpassword');

As you're preparing your wiki, keeping it in-house, you might want to
go ahead and comment out or delete the other lines setting
$DefaultPasswords, and if you've included script/authuser, comment
that out as well.

Let us know if this works!
