Hello,
I am the moderator of the Telegram List Server. I recently tried to get into the Telegram Administrative Interface to change my password and could not do it. I followed the steps below.
I used my password on the Telegram Moderator Authentication page which got
me to the Telegram Administrative Database page. Once on this page I
clicked on Telegram Administrative Interface. Once this page came up I used
the same password for the Telegram Administrative Authentication and the
authorization keeps failing.
Would you set me up a temporary password that works so that I can reset my
password. I have no idea why my password works with the Telegram Moderator
Authentication but then doesn't work with the Telegram Administration
Authentication? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks,
Tom Smith Moderator NC Division Commander Sons of Confederate Veterans

There would appear to be a different password for the admins & moderators.

None of us on this list can provide a "temporary password" for the lists (unless one of us hosts the lists for you). You need to contact the person who manages the list(s).
There are two areas of adminish web-interface /admin and /admindb: the first being for complete list-admin, the second for handling list moderation.
For the moderator password to be changed, you should probably contact the owner of the list (e.g., by mailing <listname-owner@lists.example.com>), and ask them to sort you out: there may well be other moderators who will duly need any new moderator's password, too.

Hi, Tom,
You have posted to the mailman-users@python.org. This is a list where operators and moderators of lists on various hosts help each other with the operation of mailing lists using the Mailman software. However, we do not provide any list hosting ourselves. You need to contact the administrators of the "Telegram" service directly, because only they have the necessary authority to change passwords on their host. We simply do not have the access.
I have no idea why my password works with the Telegram Moderator Authentication but then doesn't work with the Telegram Administration Authentication? Any help would be appreciated.
That is a question I can answer. In Mailman, moderation and list administration are separate functions. Moderators have very restricted powers, basically to approve or reject posts. List administrators are far more powerful, able to view and change members' subscription settings, even for members who have requested privacy, for example. Therefore these have separate passwords, allowing site administrators to have different security policies for the different functions.
Depending on site policy, you may be able to set them to be the same, but you will need to take care to reset both manually; there is currently no way to configure so that resetting one password automatically resets the other to the same (new) password.
