It is P-Code. ColdFusion does not need the password to execute it. You do need the password to decrypt it however.

Sounds like you are screwed / or the original developer was a fool for not documenting the password.

How did it compile the first time if it's encrypted and it doesn't know the password.

as I understand it, coldfusion will be running the p-code, that is, it wont be compiling from the source each time it is run, and therefore will not need the password..

Peter,

 

I used that tool.

 

It is a customer's source code and encrypted by a previous developer who has forgotten the password. He is on this list if he wishes to confirm.

 

So it's 100% legitimate, but CF must store the password somewhere to decrypt it.

Contact the application author? Purchase the source code license?

Otherwise it sounds a but.. dodgy.

This tool might help:

But I prefer to deploy as a J2EE application now. No more source code.
