Sorry to post this stupid question. But I just can't find where to
change the password. Should you help me?

Cheers,
Linly

That is what I would do:

If you start your site the first time you should register yourself
with the user name you used in the index.php file and a password.

This creates a page with the url login.username.

To get rid of this admin password I would login, open this page,
delete it and register myself again with the same username and a new
password.
To register just add &action=register at the end of the url.

If you are logged in as admin, you can delete other account pages and
register them again with the same username and a new password.

Greetings, Martin

Hi Linly! Welcome to BoltWire!

Martin gave the easiest solution perhaps. Depending on your needs you
could also set up your own password changing action. How it would look
would depend on whether or not you have your passwords encrypted or
not (the default setting), and who you want to be able to change them.
And if you want some kind of email verification it can get more
complicated.

BoltWire has all the tools built in to do stuff like this pretty
easily (esp now that we added the crypt command), and I could probably
set up a sample form for you if you specify exactly what you want it
to do and how you want it to work. But then again, Martin's solution
works great if you don't need anything more.

Cheers,
Dan
