Manually alter administrator password and forums

[yojoe]

Hello
This thread may look quite old, but the problem is still actual. At least for me.
I've been trying to find a method of alternate login.
Additional line in user.xml file (with other login, encrypted pass and mail) doesn't work.
Neither temporarily replacing sha1 hash with newly generated one.

I wonder why putting manually generated sha1 hash doesn't want to work.
I've used dozen sh1 online generators. May it be caused by character encoding on websites with sh1 generators ?
user.xml has ansi encoding.

I'm asking, because when I give access to a friend of mine, whose I'm creating a website, I know I'll need to access it at a later time, to make some improvements or changes.
Since (5 hours ago) I started to like getsimple cms, I feel I'm going to use it further.
But I cannot ask in future website owners for login&pass.
Replacing temporary hash would be the easiest method, since there's no user management in getitsimple.

But if getitsimple had the possibility to store multiple users added manually in user.xml, it would be great.
