CouchDB administrator password reset

Question

I have an install of couchDB, and somewhere along the line, a malformed request via CURL has my admin accound with a password that I don't know. Short of setting up another Couch server, then replicating to it and vice versa after a reinstall, is there anything I can do? I have edited local.ini, I deleted it. I replaced it with the one from the source folder. I restart not only couch but the entire server after every change because nothing seems to work. Anyone else run into this?

Ignore this question. For some reason, on the eight-thousandth iteration of doing the same thing, it randomly worked.

I take that back. When couch runs as a service, it's not loading the local.ini file, only when I launch it from the shell. – spuy767 Aug 09 '13 at 07:55
