[TYPO3-UG UK] Help - Special characters

[Elisabetta Spediacci]

Dear Denyer,
thank you very much for your reply.

I tried to follow your advice, but I'm stuck again. This is the path I
followed:
User tools > User settings > Admin functions > Create install tool enable
file
Admin tools > Install
At this point I got a page asking me for a password. I tried with the one I
use to access the backend, but it didn't work.

I know you cannot tell me my password :-), but maybe you can explain me
what the following message, displayed in same page, means:

"The Install Tool Password is *not* the admin password of TYPO3.
The default password is *XXX**. Be sure to change it!
If you don't know the current password, you can set a new one by setting
the value of $TYPO3_CONF_VARS['BE']['installToolPassword'] in
typo3conf/localconf.php to the md5() hash value of the password you desire."

*[this password did not work either]

Looking forward to your answer!
Elisabetta
