Hi Jon! Well, I did what you said... I used dumpdb to look at the encrypted password for a list. Then I changed the list admin pw for th list (logged in as the site admin), and did a dumpdb again. I get the same encrypted password for the list admin (and therefore, still cannot log in as the admin).
What else can I try? Thanks!
