chaging administrator account

[Sander]

hi all,

I was wondering if anyone knows how to change the administrator account for
a PWA instance. It is on the page in the SSP, manage pwa site and then
project web acces site properties.
There is the :
Specify the user account that will be given administrative rights to this
Project Server instance

This field is greyed out, but I really need to change this account as I
recovered from a backup to a new server and the value in the field is a local
account which is not working on the new server.

anybody any ideas??

I've never tried it, and just thinking out aloud, but I wonder if the
following would work?

stsadm -o updatefarmcredentials -userlogin <domain\username> -password
<newpassword>

I just tried that command and unfortunately it doesn't affect the pwa
adminsitrator. I'm afraid it projectserver won't allow the change, but any
direction (like the place where the vaule is stored) for possible solution
still welcome.
