Hi,
The "#" sign means that the line is commented out, that the PHP parser will
not read it (but the line is there for you as a reminder). So, remove this
sign to activate the password:
$DefaultPasswords['admin'] = crypt('******');
You can do similarly with:
$EnableGUIButtons = 1;
and other configuration options.
You may wish to search for some beguinners' tutorial for the PHP language, it
may help you administrate a PmWiki Installation. Check out:
