	As Jean-Paul said ERP5 user is "zope" and password is "zope". That
should work. But if you still have problems ZMI password can be changed
from the command line. Anyway, you shouldn't need to do that.

	I don't know ERP5 in depth. In fact, I haven't done anything usefull
with it yet. Learning how it works is not an easy and quick task, mostly
because of the lack of a complete user guide.

	Nevertheless it seems that it can be modeled to fit any business better
than Compiere. Compiere is a great tool and it is almost out of the box
software. But you need to make your company proceses fit Compiere not
the oder way around. 

	Not to say the need of a comercial database is another point against
it. Even when it can be used with daffodildb for some months now. And it
seems that more databases are to come. I find the technology behind ERP5
much more promising and opensource oriented.

	May be. But in the right dosis makes life funny ;-)
