You can't decrypt passwords but if you copy the hash from the original pfile to the new pfile it'll work as you want. You'll have to make a 'set rawpasswd'[1] command or something so you can restore the password without encrypting the encrypted password. -- George Greer greerga@circlemud.org 1: Or just run without crypt support temporarily, using mudpasswd to fix your password so you can log back in.
