Sharepoint 2007 - How can i access default.aspx (portal homepage)?

Ive been having a problem with a webpart in a sharepoint (moss 2007) site.

Basically I cannot remove the webpart, every which way results in an error and we cant get rid of the darn thing.

Unfortunately SharePoint designer errors out as wel when I try to remove the webpart manually from Default.aspx (its only on the homepage).

Is there anyway without SharePoint designer I can gain access to the Default.aspx file so I can manually remove the webpart?

Someone mentioned default.aspx doesnt actually exist and is generated at runtime? Is this true and if so does any开发者_如何学JAVAone know where in the moss database I could gain acces to the table(s) that build up the default.aspx or where the webpart refs are stored for manual removal?

Thanks all!

you can try adding ?contents=1 at the end of your URL page. for example:

http://myserver/Pages/default.aspx?contents=1

this will bring you to a "Web Part Page Maintenance" page where you can checkout the page itself and remove/disable web parts.
