arcade script password help!

Hello i have bought a script some time ago from a member of a forum the script is a arcade script and when i went to install it on my site it all went fine untill i went to the admin area were it asks for the user name and password so i enterd what i thought it was and it never worked in the readme that comes with the script it does not tell you the password so now i have a script that i cant use cause the maker never included the password in the read me this makes me very can anyone help or know how to edit the password in the mysql or somthing any help would be great!!

 

password has to be somewhere in php files .... search

 

no clue were it is can u help i can send you the script please let me know!

 

look for a file called config.php, or globals.php in the root or in the includes folder. Unless this site has a database? Does it? If so, it maybe in the database in a table called users, or admin. Not that I expect you to know how to get that information.

 

yes it does have a database and there is a table called users with a admin user under it the password is like a long string dh3872hrf849 somthing of that nature do u have a chat program maybe u can take a look for me?

 

this means that the password is encrypted through the software he built. You can run a small script to allow you to do what you need. The technology that encrpyts that is mostly used with php is called "MD5".

 

were can i get the program to de encrypt the password?

 

Why not reset it to what you want? ??????

Go into your SQL Query writer and do this;

just do it like:

and it should work

 

im not very good with mysql and need more information to how to do this

 

im at the DB and i see this area

SQL query on database animesta_arcade:

ok now should i input

INSERT INTO yourtable(yourfield)
VALUES (MD5('$yourvar'));

into the feild and see what happens?

 

You know I was not thinking when I typed that, try this;

INSERT INTO users VALUES (MD5('yourpassword')); where userId='1'

your going to need some basic knowledge to do that. Update where I have "userId" with what your programmer used. And use the ID number of the record you want to edit. My script, probably has a flaw in it, but I am not in a place where I can check it for you sorry. I just hope I can get you on the right track.

 

actually NO, I can do this for you I guess, what is your IM info

 

ok great add me to msn

 

Just to update anyone that finds this thread and needs help, My sql queries where all wrong. I should have been using UPDATE user SET yourfield='variable' WHERE userId='Id Of Record'

Regardless, use this amazing tool I found online to reverse MD5 strings
