First of all I want to thank you all,,
from along time ago I have registered in some forum and I am using cookies to remember my password and username,,,,so is there any way to read my password from the cookies that are in my labtop,,,i can see the password inside cookies code put like this (e551cff46e2a14a9331001d8) so how can i read this? if there is any way please tell me how can i do that.
Thank you very much
 
i dont know if you are able to do that, it looks as though its encrypted to stop that from happening.
cant you contact someone from the forum to try and fix it?
 
thanks alot (Dropkickmurphys) for your reply, but I can not contact someone from the forum to fix it because this is from along time ago and really I have forgot the email that i used to register, any way thanks thanks alot
 
Looks to me like it could be SHA (Secure Hash Algorithm) encryption; very secure, but luckily there are programs built for your exact problem, a good one is SHA-1 Password, but it's only shareware.
Link for it here: ** LINK REMOVED **
NB: It may well not be SHA at all...but give it a go at least.

yup it is hashed code, probably not going to be able to decode/decrypt it. The pirate bay just got hacked through an exploit from their....blog?

anyways someone go a hold of their whole user data base, but every user was encrypted, so its probably worthless information.
 
It would (in theory) be doable, but it just isn't worth it, the chances are it could have been encrypted using a couple of methods (md5+sha1) and a random string added to it to make it even harder, would just be easier to re-register or contact the admin of the forum!
