Go into the project databases from your SQL server manager and then find
your db. Click on tables. Scroll on the right side down until you find
tablename: WEB_RESOURCES or maybe MSP_WEB_RESOURCES. Right click it and
select open table> return all rows. Find the administrator record and then
find the column heading WRES_PASSWORD. Save the existing cell data in a
wordpad file in case you have to revert to it. Blank this cell. Do not
<Null>, but leave it blank. Save and try it again.
