is there way to reset admin password?
Hello,
I forgot my admin pass, anyway to reset it? I don't think I set the email
right email, so the "reset" link on user page is not working. Can someone
help me?

k, thanks for the info Wendy. I got it working now.
At first thought I forgot my password is not right, but it's been the same
all along. What happens is someone shuts down the server expectantly. When
it rebooted, the archiva instance no longer can authenticate admin user,
even though the site is up. I went restart the webapp and everything is fine
again. Might be some caching and not flushing out with a bad shutdown?

None... 'guest' is the unauthenticated user. It's who you are if you
don't log in.

Hi Wendy, do you know what's the default password set for a guest user?

How many other users and roles are there? The easiest thing is to
stop Archiva and delete the user database. When you start up again it
will prompt you to create the admin user.
You can edit the database directly, though it's a bit of a pain with
embedded Derby. Fixing the email address in the database would be my
next suggestion if you don't want to start over with the user db.
