General questions
Why does the default OpenCms url contain /opencms/opencms/?
The first /opencms/ is the folder of your OpenCms installation in the webapps folder of your servlet container (tomcat,jboss,etc.). The second is a servlet mapping to the main OpenCms servlet which handles the requests. You can install OpenCms as root-application of you servlet container to get rid of the first /opencms/. During the installation process you can rename the servlet mapping (for example to cms) to shorten the second /opencms/.Alternatively there is a guide how to get rid of /opencms/opencms/ shipped with the alcacon documentation.

I lost the password of "Admin", what can I do?
If you have database access you can reset it with the following SQL query:
UPDATE CMS_USER SET USER_PASSWORD='ISMvKXpXpadDiUoOSoAfww==' WHERE USER_NAME='Admin';
This sets the "Admin" password to 'admin'. NOTE: Use this at your own risk!
