There's currently no way to login passwordlessly, but I've added https://trac.openmicroscopy.org.uk/ome/ticket/6957 in order to examine adding support for that. Until then, you'll need to follow the recipes on the backup-and-restore page:

Unfortunately, it's still unclear why this patch is only necessary for your installation, and therefore, it's likely that adding this would break other installations. The import block at the top of that file:

try:
    from PIL import Image, ImageDraw # see ticket:2597
except ImportError:
    try:
        import Image, ImageDraw # see ticket:2597
    except:
        logger.error("You need to install the Python Imaging Library. Get it at http://www.pythonware.com/products/pil/")
        logger.error(traceback.format_exc())

should definitely have already imported "Image". If there are any generic fixes you can make to that block so that your installation works without Chris' patch, that would be something we could add to the main codebase.

Cheers,
~Josh.
