Question:

How do I change the FrontPage password for a domain on a Freedom account?

Answer:

You must change the password through UNIX on the server.

Software:

Detail:

Currently, there is no way to change your FrontPage password except to either reinstall the FrontPage extensions or follow this FAQ.

Solution:

To change your FrontPage password on a Freedom server, telnet to the server, then cd to the htdocs/_vti_pvt/ directory of the domain that you wish to change the FrontPage password for.  For example, if the domain in question is www.fpdomain.com, then the command would be:

> cd /www/vhosts/fpdomain.com/htdocs/_vti_pvt/

Now run the Apache password change command for the user.  For example, if the user name was webmaster, then the command would be:

> htpasswd service.pwd webmaster

This will prompt you for the new password for webmaster.  Once this is completed, the password will have been changed for the FrontPage extensions.
