Try this:

  * Create a new encrypted password with this sort of thing:

        perl -e 'print crypt("newpassword",rand(100)) . "\n"'

  * Copy the new encrypted password for use in a moment.

  * Change to your products directory and backup your access.asc
    file - just in case.

  * Edit the access.asc file using a text editor such as vi.

  * Locate the old encrypted password and replace with the new one
    you copied earlier, while being careful to maintain the file's
    format: Tab-separated values, no nasty MSDOS or Mac line endings
    etc.

Obviously, you will need to be logged in as a user who has permission
to edit the access.asc file.
