Why don't you just set his password to zilch in the pfile? That is, just remove the crypted text, leaving simply the tilde. He'll have to just hit enter the next time he logs in and then change his password (which you could do for him, of course).

It gave me a nice little error which I have NO clue about. Wed Jun 12 00:15:52 2002 :: [*****] BUG: Attempt to recyle invalid memory of size 14. Wed Jun 12 00:15:52 2002 :: [*****] BUG: SoC.u9J4VGmQ6 The SoC.u9J4VGmQ6 is the builders password which I found in his password file. It's encrypted however. At one point, I attempted to remove the crypt part of the whole game so that the passwords weren't encrypted. That ended up screwing EVERYTHING up and I had to back up from a really old copy. So I'm coming to you guys for help on this one. I think that my builder put a funny character in his password, but I don't see any reason why this should screw up the memory or the MUD....I've emailed him and he's going to tell me his password, but it's still screwy. Would it work to add some more if checks for screwy characters in the check for tilds in do_password? Someone help me out here.
