Hey im running a server on my computer and lost the password for one of my players. I tried running the user.dat that cotains all the info on the users who logged onto my server but the passwords are *coded. All i can see is the amount of characters in the password. I Also tried running it with the html/plain text converting program but the password just isn't part of its interfaces. Since i am the owner of the server tehres gotta be a way i can see it

. I dont want to just delete the user and remake one. I must get the password. And no

! it doesnt work with notepad.exe!!!!

Alright that's all i think i gotta say thx for ur time n help

Its encrypted, though not very well done. Anyways, the best you should do is just set it to a new password.

How? Look in your subbill.ini file for the sysop password. Then, in your zone, type ?login password to log in as a billing operator. Then you can just use ?changepassword to reset his password to something new. If his name was Bob Man, to change his password to jim, you'd type ?changepassword Bob Man:jim

MAV! Don't post that link, idiot. We don't want every newb on the planet going around getting people's passwords.

The stupidity.

Don't decrpyt people's passwords. There's no good reason why you'd need to do so. It's as simple as that.

Mav had posted a link to a way to recover the password; however, I agree with Cyan that we don't need this information to become more readily available to those who might abuse the knowledge; so he (MM) removed it (the link).

The best advice given is that posted by Mine GO BOOM.
