; To create an admin account uncomment the '[admins]' section below and add a
; line in the format 'username = password'. When you next start CouchDB, it
; will change the password to a hash (so that your passwords don't linger

; 'username = password' lines. Don't forget to restart CouchDB after
; changing this.
