Re: Help -- Passwords ?????????????????

Hi,

Oracle crypts passwords about the same way as unix does it, altho it takes more than just the password to crypt, I think its like username + password combination, anyways the principle is the same, thus you cant go back from a crypted form. Its a one way encryption.

And I dont think we have some sort of crack floating around either. Sorry..

Cheers
Wim
