which password? for the board? you need to get into the mysql database (i don't think it is encrypted). either use the mysql database functions through telnet or install myphpadmin (a lot easier).

Or you could just use the retrieve password function :D

cunning.... :) oops.

where i found telnet commands for mysql ?

[TWTCommish]

http://www.mysql.com has a lot of documentation on the subject. :) Something like "SELECT password FROM user WHERE username='USERNAME'" would do the trick.

i would definitely recommend myPHPadmin though, it would make it soooo much easier than through telnet.
