As far as I know, you can NOT recover a password since they're permanently encrypted in the Users.db database. If you open the Users.db file located i= n the WebCatalogEngine directory using a text editor, you may be able to rese= t the password with a new encrypted one. I created a test user with password: admin It encrypted as follows: =DBm&%22=16!=1Bh > Second and less important: > Is it now called WebDNA 6 or WebCatalog 6?
