This is how I found the master password for my Instiki Wiki...
1. Googled "Instiki Lost Password" and found that passwords are in plain text in the /storage directory
2. Discovered that I don't have a /storage directory
3. Looked for anything with the word storage in the title
4. Discovered that the migrate_storage script had nothing to do with passwords
5. Looked for the database - \db\production.db.sqlite3
6. Opened it using SciTE as a last resort because I've got no idea how it's organised or should be read and I'd hit the point where I didn't care.
7. THERE IT WAS !!! In between an ESC and a NULL !!! Only half way down the page - no need to scan through reams of junk !
I really hope that this helps someone (and doesn't do any damage coz I'm an absolute novice with Instiki, Ruby and sqlite).
