Hi Jim, Thanks for the reply but given my newness to rails I'll quite happily make changes to the local db and then "heroku db:push" them up to heroku. What I think I'll do is generate a sale and manually encrypt each of the passwords using SHA1, maybe even a web-based one like http://www.tech-faq.com/sha-1-generator.shtml The user model shows that I'd use the following "Digest::SHA1.hexdigest ("--#{salt}--#{password}--")" for generating the encrypted password. Quite cumbersome, but I think its simple enough, and needs little coding ability so I might just get there.
