Web Hosting Talk : Advertising Forums : Employment Offers & Requests : Employment / Job Offers : $5 for 5 minutes work (PHP, MySQL, multiforumscript)

[bigturnip]

I bought a site with a copy of sebflippers multi forum script installed and haven't done much with it for the last few months. Only problem is I don't know the admin password and it is encrypted in MySQL.

Can someone help me retrieve the password or more likely reset it so I can get admin access again?

I'm guessing this is quick job 5 minute, but if you think it will take longer let me know.

if it's an MD5 hash password...look on google for a known word that is hashed...then find the password in the MySQL database and overwrite the password with the hash of the known word.

This should work for you as I have done this in the past when I lost track of a password too.

This is the MD5 hash for the word welcome

Try pasting the password here?

If it's *just* MD5, it might give you the right one.

You could cut down 90% of that post and it'd still make perfect sense.

Stop the bloat.

Hello,
Its impossible to retrieve back the already encrypted password.
We can reset the password of mysql in case you have the server ssh access.
Just skip the table lookups when starting mysql and you can reset the mysql with ease.

Resetting an encrypted password to an encrypted password that you know is a 5 minute process and makes a lot more since then playing around with decryption as allengeorge said.

Something in a php file like:
$strng = "newpass";
$md5str = md5($strng);
$cryptstr = crypt($strng);
echo("MD5 is $md5str and Crypt is $cryptstr");

Then just copy paste the result into mysql.
