If the encryption mechanism is the standard unix crypt()
function, you can try a dictionary search to guess at
the password key, or you can do a brute force search which
covers up to 8 characters. The first two characters of the
standard unix encrypted form are the "salt" you pass into
crypt(), and normal crypt()'s render the 9th and additional
characters insignificant.
ObCircle:
Recovery of a player's password is not needed. With the
stock source code, the player with ID 1 can:
set file <playername> pass <newpassword>
