Use Python 2.1 or better to call zpasswd.py.  Your system python is probably version 1.5.2, which does not support string methods like "upper".

This is what I have when I want to change user and password. The most critical thing is that I don't have any emergency user available.
The last time, I had a problem of login (even if login and password are correct) since I wouldn't manage to resolve this problem, I decided to re install whole Zope. But I don'twant to do it again.

[root@tc-zope Zope-2.6.1-linux2-x86]# python zpasswd.py access
Username: superuser
Password: 
Verify password: 

Please choose a format from:

SHA - SHA-1 hashed password (default)
CRYPT - UNIX-style crypt password
CLEARTEXT - no protection

Encoding: SHA     
Traceback (innermost last):
  File "zpasswd.py", line 200, in ?
    if __name__=='__main__': main(sys.argv)
  File "zpasswd.py", line 184, in main
    if encoding.upper() in ['SHA', 'CRYPT', 'CLEARTEXT']:
AttributeError: 'string' object has no attribute 'upper'
[root@tc-zope Zope-2.6.1-linux2-x86]# 

I don't know why but I think something is wrong in the zpasswd.py script or examples are incorrect
