Lug, sometime back, i posted a problem on LUG list, i had a simple problem, i had created a DBMS in mysql for a client, created a username & password and registered his email, as the default.
The client was out of town, probably playing golf at St. Andrew's (have to play there soon) either i forgot the password, or he changed it, I had remote login to the database, but i just couldnt hack it. several kind people (several on this list) offered solutions, but they were like the bridge to nowhere.My Indian friend (hacker) gave me a hashcode which didnt work. after thinking, i wanted to hit myself with a broom stick. Because the solution was staring in my face. All i needed to do was to change his email address to mine. Assuming, i had encrypted this field, then i would only need to select table users, type my password, and change function to md5. (every man and his dog would have got this) This would have saved me a little time regards Cavin
