Yep there's a similar issue posted on the formdefaults issue queue that talks about this with regard to the user registration form. The only real way around it is to temporarily grant the "change form labels" privilege to the anonymous user. I'd recommend doing this on a development site (not on the internet) and then use the new export/import functionality to move it between sites.

You may need the dev version of formdefaults to accomplish that. It's pretty stable now. I just haven't had time to roll a new beta yet. I'll try to get that soon.

@Earnie - FYI Formdefaults is a module that implements a generic form_alter hook to change the titles, descriptions and weights for forms items of any other form.

Once logged in as Admin, works nicely on any/all forms, except ...

I'd like to edit my "user/login" form using it.

@ nav to "user/login",& I get:

        "You are not authorized to access this page."

How can I be "not authorized" ? I'm Admin ...

Because only unauthenticated users are authorized to access the login form.

Any help with this Catch22? How do I access/edit the "user/login"

form?

You have to use a hook_form_alter, it isn't node content that you can edit.
