This question about Configuration: Answered but needs rewriting
How to recall an admin account?
I apologise if this has been asked before.
My sysadmin just quit and I need to regain control of the admin account. Is there a recommended procedure for such an action?
In the
foswiki/lib/LocalSite.cfg
file, there is a line like
$Foswiki::cfg{Password} = 'LyndhWlLgiqQ';
delete
just that line, and then goto
configure
with your browser - you will then be able to set a new password.

I leave this as "needs rewriting" because it should be an
FAQ item.
