Help needed: Pitboss game Admin password corrupted....
Our pitboss game password has became corrupt 
I didn't setup an admin password, now after the pitboss server crashed it requires an admin password nevertheless.
When I try to reload the autosaves, I have to go back for 6 turns to lose the required password again.
Apparantly something happened some turns ago with the password, no idea how that is possible.
Anyway, can anybody help removing the password from the savegame?

I opened the save!!
As me.
At first it wanted an admin password but then I capitalised the file extension: CivBeyondSwordSave
and it worked as a normal game load... does that help?

How did you open the save?
In what modus? Pitboss?
describe exactly what you did.
Maybe you can make a new save and upload it here?

I'd try changing the extension capitalization like deity suggests... that's the most obvious solution, as there are some oddities related to that.

'my' version of the file has a correctly capitalized extension already. uploading to poly destroyes it.

Sacrifice the goat Toni! He did it!
Absurd how the admin password suddenly had been changed.... I defenitely didn't do that.
Anyway, game's up again! Thanks to Wittlich!

Well, CivStats now shows the game as being up... 
Actually, I was just sitting here looking at the Admin Logon screen and figured, what the hell - let's try something simple...and it actually worked!
