Zope QuickStart

### You have not created any users in this Zope instance. In order to log in and manage this Zope instance, you'll need to add an adminstrative user account.

If you're running Zope on UNIX or Linux, you can create an administrative user account via the "zopectl adduser" command from a shell. Note: You'll need to shut Zope itself down before "zopectl adduser" will work. Restart Zope after executing this command in order to log in.

If you're running Zope on Windows, you'll need to use the "zpasswd.py" utility in your Zope installation's "bin" directory at \bin to create a file named inituser in your Zope instance home at that contains the initial administrative username and password.
