I really did look in the FAQ to see if this was mentioned but I didn't find it.
How do I reset the administrator password on a list? We created a list and set the password and now neither of us can remember what it was set to. I do have root permission on the machine running mailman (it is running Debian GNU/Linux 2.1 with the 1.0rc2-5 version of the Debian mailman package, in case that matters).
