I know that it's the encrypted user password, but how can I actually use it ? For example: Can I reassign a password to a user via his encrypted password ? or: Can I test a logon with another user's encrpyted user password to test the logon ? I tried stuff like connect myuser/0CE92663BBC6FC34@MYDB, but that doesn't seem to work.
