Tech destroyed my admin rights

[Christyb]

:confused;

I had problems connecting to a new server, and called a tech in. He turned me
into a content owner.

When I try to make myself the adminstrator (though the connection says there
isn't one), it prompts me for a password, which I did not have.

Please Help!

I found the answer! How to remove the Contribute administrator password The
administration features of Macromedia Contribute 3 are protected by a password
that is selected by the Contribute Administrator. If the administrator is
unavailable, the password can be removed and a Contribute user can select a new
password. The password is stored in the Contribute configuration (hub) file on
the web server, so the current password must be removed from the file.
Solution
The following steps describe the general steps required for removing the
password. The specific process of editing the configuration file or
transferring the file to and from the server is not listed, since the process
differs for different connection types.
1. Launch Contribute
2. Remove the site connection in Contribute (Windows platforms) Edit > My
Connections
3. Quit Contribute
4. Connect to the server, and on the server, locate the Contribute
configuration file for the site. The file should be located and named as
indicated by the following line:
[ site root ]/_mm/cthub[ random 16 characters ].csi
5. Copy the file to your machine
6. Open the hub file in Notepad or other text editor
7. Look for these two lines in the hub file (should be in the first few lines
in the file):

<admin_password value='[random characters]' />
<admin_password_salt value='[random characters]' />
8. Delete the random characters but leave the quotes, as follows:

<admin_password value='' />
<admin_password_salt value='' />
9. Save and close the hub file
10. Put the hub file back on the server
11. Launch Contribute
12. Create a Connection to the site manually - do not use a connection key
Choose the Administrator role, and complete the connection
13. Administer the site: (Windows platforms) Edit > Administer Websites
14. In the Administration settings, set the Administrator email address and
the Administrator password
15. Save the settings

Christy,

Don't know if you still access the User Forums but can I just tell you that
you ROCK!!! :wink;
I went through changing the Admin process/password on my IIS server and it
worked beautifully!

Thanks from one webchick to another!!
