> Thanks Well the idea behind hash it that it's not supposed to be reversible. Hence it's more secure since you can only pass validation (user login, etc) if you already know the value prior to application of the hash. What a user login typically will do then is hash the password the user provides at time of login and comare that against the hashed value stored in the database. If you absolutely must be able to revert the hashed value, you could theoretically start at a string of 1 character in length, loop over every possible character, hash the value and compare it against your hashed value, then add one to the length of the string and do the same for each character in the string until you find a match. It shouldn't take more than a few months to get the value. :) s. isaac dealey 954.522.6080 new epoch : isn't it time for a change? add features without fixtures with the onTap open source framework http://www.fusiontap.com http://coldfusion.sys-con.com/author/4806Dealey.htm ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
