Plone 4 newbie can't create a web site - no username/password

I am a new Plone user. I have installed Plone from docker image eeacms/plone:4.3.7. But I can't create a web site because I have no username/password.

Thanks,

Follow the next instructions

cd data1/parts/zope2/utilities/

data1/parts/zope2/utilities/ is a path to utilities folder, that contains zpasswd.py script Note: data1 is not the default name of folder in a plone/zope installtion, find zpasswd.py

./zpasswd.py -u <user> -p <password> access

where <user> is an emergency user login name you are creating, <password> - password for this user to log in.

You will get a file access created in the utilities folder. Move this access file into your instance (data1/parts/instance) folder with the following command

mv access ../../instance/

Now change your location form data1/parts/zope2/utilities to data1/bin, and restart your instance

cd ../../../bin

./instance restart

Login to ZMI with newly created emergency user login Create usual Zope admin user and login with it to do all the necessary stuff in ZMI.

I have not used this Docker image. But the standard that I expect is: username admin and password admin.

When I look at the config in https://hub.docker.com/r/eeacms/plone/ this seems to be correct. See the 'user' option in the 'plone.recipe.zope2instance' recipe on that page.

Note that this username and password in the config file is only used once when there is no initial user yet. When you have started the site at least once, changing the user option will have no effect anymore. You can change the password later in the UI.
