Re: [Exist-development] Changing exist-db admin password

[Adam R. <ad...@ex...>]

I believe the mechanism used is typically to take the source code of the
version you are using, and then build a version where the password checks
are disabled. You then use that version to extract the data.

Coincidentally I just noticed you are in Oxford. I will be there next week
for the XML Summer School at St. Edmund Hall. I might be able to spare an
hour if I I could be of some assistance?
