[WEB4LIB] Re: IE4: reset content supervisor password?

[Gair Helfrich]

There is a way to do this.  I will be happy to fax step by step
instructions to anyone who requests them. Be sure to include your fax
number.   Once we removed the password set (un)intentionally by the patron,
we then set one of our own, so that this would not happen again.
