Password assistance

[goodguyright]

I apologize if this is in the wrong forum section, but thought programmers might be able to tell me where to look.

I bought a script from a site not realizing the business is not operating any longer. (I can provide the site where purchased and paypal receipt if you are concerned that I am trying to rip someone off).

I can't log in to get the script to function as the passwords in the readme file aren't correct.

I know that log in info has to be stored somewhere in the files otherwise...logins would never work..right?

Can anyone may be give me a clue where I might be able to find the file tha contains the piece I need to get the script installed.

Thanks in advance for your assistance...and my hair thanks you too.

Where can you not log in to?

Login information is usually stored in a database or config file.

Can you tell us the name of the script (if it has one)?

There are a few possibilities.

1) username and password is stored in a config file or something similar
2) The username and password is stored in the database
3) They are stored in a htaccess and htpasswd

might be worth letting us have alook and it might then be more apparent where the password is stored

the software is called

spyname 1.04
WGS-Expire v1.04

a domain finder script.

Could be config, password or any other files like that.

99% chances are that it is in database.

If in database then in tables like user, users, admin, config, etc....

If the password is MD5 encrypted then you won't be able to see the password from database. So you will have to see how it stores the password function. Copy that code into a new file supply a string like "aaaaaa" and pass it through that function and you will get the new string MD5 and hashed with whatever stuff the script does normally. This string you can substitute in your database now and you password will be "aaaaaa"

Thanks.

Try what -Nick- said. If it is md5 (always exactly 32 char.) then put this value in to make your password "admin" (without quotes):

Just trying to save you time running the md5(); code :p
