Hi,

As a web designer that looks after plenty of scripts I often can't remember my administrator account password for them! - Which is a nightmare. So my work around for MySQL scripts - 9/10 the passwords are stored in a MD5 - which is basically an encryption format.

So, say if your password was, Password the MD5 equivalent would be dc647eb65e6711e155375218212b3964

Now because the scripts use MD5 encryption you can't simply type the word Password into your table field (thinking this will reset it to this), it won't work. So this is why MD5 generators come in handy, rather than searching for one, I thought you could use the link below and bookmark it to help you should you ever need it, I know I do!
