The password has to be stored somewhere (usually in an encrypted form), so if you know where, you can keep a copy of the string representing the encypted password, change the password to whatever you want, and when you done just put the original password back by reinserting the encrypted string in the password file/database. You don't really need to know the password itself, just the string that represents it. Sincerely, Fredrik ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
