If you can access the xml data file. Open it up with an editor or viewer (IE, Firefox, LFViewer) and look for the following line.

username to find

e.g. admin

You should then find the below info. listed.

<Admin>
  <sys-type>21</sys-type> 
  <sys-id>40075</sys-id> 
  <sys-name>admin</sys-name> 
  <groupID>10319</groupID> 
  <password>Ch4ng3M3</password> 
</Admin>

The password line should then contain the password that was set.

Hope that helps.

Cleartext? Really? Here’s a change I’d like to see in the next version. Encrypt that please.
