admin password
Can't find any reference, in installing version 4.0 I am trying to
configure planet, now the admin login I created as the initial username
isn't able to login.
After the install it worked fine, now with what I am sure is the same
password it is telling me the login fails. How do I reset the password?
Thankx,
Kurt

You're going to have to start using View Source and looking at the
HTML and CSS to understand what's going on.

Thanks Dave.
I was looking under the theme directory but couldn't find the image for the color of top strip that comes on the login page, above the sentence "Welcome to Roller"
Is it defined in color.css or is their a seperate .gif file for that ?

Check the Roller install guide for details on how to create and place
a roller-custom.properties file.
You can safely ignore that one in the examples directory.

Hi Dave,
Thanks for your valuable input. Though I know struts, I will be first trying the first approach. can you tell me where I have to put roller-custom.properties file ?
Right now I see it in webapp\roller\roller-ui\docs\examples\rollertask

You can customize the front-page by creating a front-page blog theme,
but to customize the login page and the editor/admin UI there are two
approaches.
The first one is to use the undocumented editor/admin UI theme
capability. If you look in the directory /web/roller-ui/theme you will
find three directories sun, blue and tan. These are three different
themes for the editor/admin UI. You can pick one by specifying the
property 'editor.theme' in your roller-custom.properties file. By
default editor.theme=tan.
If creating your own theme directory does not give you enough control,
then you will need to understand Struts2 and Tiles. Look in
WEB-INF/tiles.xml for the tiles config and then under
WEB-INF/jsp/tiles for the tiles referenced by tiles.xml. You can
modify those as needed, but remember, next time a Roller release comes
out you may have to do some annoying merges.
Hope that helps,
- Dave

You might be able to work around this by setting your password to the
empty string via SQL.
update rolleruser set passphrase='' where username='admin';
Or something like that.
