I made the geronimo-default file editable and then I deleted the entry within it.(Don't ask why, just for fun, I guess) Is there a way to recover from this? I added the file itself back to the var/security/keystores folder but now it tells me that the keystore is locked. Am I hopeless or can I restore a few folders from the install to get back to square one, but leave all the database pools intact or is there an even better way to recover. Thanks, Steven Ashwill
