To reset a lost password, open the file /data/staff.data in any text editor. Find the username of the staff member's password that you wish to recover. Replace the 2nd entry* on that line of the file with the text "MMzkw9gb2v2L." and proceed to log into the control panel with the staff member's username and the password "pass".

* Entries are divided by a vertical bar symbol. Therefore the second entry would be the entry following the first vertical bar and preceding the second vertical bar on any line of the file.
