Hi Elmarie,
This is just a partial solution, but hopefully will restore your access to
the system. Assuming you have direct access to the database (on the command
line or through PgAdmin), you can run the following:

update users set password = '48e8f1207baef1ef7fe478a57d19f2e5' where
username = 'admin'

This should enable you to log in with the default admin/district. But of
course you should then proceed to change this password.

Knut
