Nope; unfortunately it's a compiled application that the client has
no access to.

I have a client who wants me to use the usernames/passwords in an

database are encrypted, and since I don't know how they were
encrypted, I can't figure out how to write a compare method.
Looks like some kind of byte codes; when we enter new passwords,
here are some examples of how they are saved:
a == 0xFB
b == 0xFC
aaa = 0xFBFFF9
q == 0x0C
Can anyone start me in the right direction to try to figure out
how it's being done?
I take it you don't have access to the source code of the
application that creates the login accounts?
