I am having the same problem with password

Ok.. i read your reply to this other guy... is there anything i can do to get my password if i forget it... since i am owner of the bot... i dont want to delete the bot an recreate just cause i cant remember my password... there is to much info stored an ops set up for the bot.... so how else can you telnet in without your password?? DCC isnt a option either the server the bot is on wont let you DCC besides i need password there also.

Thanks for any assistance you can give me here.. i have 38 bots an this is the only one for some reason that i cant get into an they all have the same password.. i tried versions of the password looking for typo an so far nothing... what do you do ?

Thanks Dawnstar

I copied my password encryption from another bot an erased the one in the bot that wouldnt let me log in an rehashed it an that changed my password.

I guess i just needed to post here to make myself think!!

Thanks anyhow
