Hi,  
I deleted the “admin” user while logged on as such. I had another user with “developer” privileges that now does not seem work either and I cannot log in either the “Developer” nor the gateway through the web interface.  
Is there a way of restoring the original users without losing the project?  
Thanks  
Carlos

From the Gateway Control Utility you should be able to issue a reset password command. If that doesn’t work let us know, there’s still an alternate if that fails.

That did the trick.  
Thanks for the prompt reply
