SID-01422: issues with authentication

Hi Everyone,

I'm relatively new to Twiki and know just enough Unix to really get myself in trouble. My Company has a twiki site that was setup by a former employee here ages ago. up until recently the password database(?) file(?) was corrupted such that no one could log into the site. that seems to be fixed now (there is no warning message saying the password file was locked). however when ever someone goes to do anything on the site; upload a document, register as a new user (as i am trying to do for myself), make any type of change we now get a password prompt asking for authentication...i want to say from an administrator or root level acct. I've tried every combination of accts and passwords i have on hand to get passed this but to no avail. I need help getting this site back up and functional as right now no one can update any of the files on the site.
