change from sha1 to plain in the config.inc i think it is.

The point of an encryption is to prevent someone to gain access to your password. If one could easily decrypt it, what would be the point of having it? If you need to access an account, you could temporarily change the account password, and then just reset it to the original password once you are done.

To set a new password;

UPDATE `accounts` SET `password` = SHA1( 'NEWPASSHERE' ) WHERE `name` = 'ACCNAMEHERE';

PS. Don't forget to store the previous password before you change it.

okay , so i can't see what the password already is?
and is it possible to deactivate the encryption?

Both in the server and in the aac maker you will have to change this if you want to be able to logg in without decrypted password.

Fortunately, no. If you could, so could a possible hacker. Thus, it being encrypted. ;-)

Yes, it is possible as far as I am concerned. Change the encryption type to plain as tompan mentioned above in config.lua. Change the encryption type of your AAC as well (in case you use one). Restart your server. This will not decrypt any existing accounts though. They would have to change their password (this may prove to be bit of a problem though because they would not be able to login as the SHA1 encryption has been disabled).

I changed the encryptionType to "plain", i made a new account but the password was still encrypted "/

 

[Chris]

Did you create your account through an AAC? If so, did you change the encryption type of that AAC as well?

 

[Wipflash]

don't think so , where do i change it?

 

[Chris]

Well, Modern AAC does not support plain passwords and I just remembered that Gesior AAC reads it from the config.lua. So if you are using Modern AAC, you would have to code it yourself as it is not there by default.
