(This was passed onto me by a friend - Thanks!!!)
Here's an example of how to decrypt the hash to
username: admin (used as example for this blog)
encrypted-password from registry: D1 C5 E0 DC E5 91 DC D1
the hex values of the username (admin) are: 61 64 6D 69 6E
Hence to decrypt the encrypted password, you would repeat the hex of the username until the length of the hash is matched, subtract that hex from the encrypted-password hash hex, and then convert the resulting hash/hex to ascii, and voila, you have your decrypted password:
D1 C5 E0 DC E5 91 DC D1 (password hash from registry)
(-) 61 64 6D 69 6E 61 64 6D (adminadm)
= 70 61 73 73 77 30 72 64 (result in hex)
= p a s s w 0 r d (result in ascii)
Voila.. that was the password that I set!
This should hopefully help others who are trying to do an imail conversion.
Note: This works with Imail Version 8.13, and may or may not work with other versions, but I suspect it will.
THIS SHOULD ONLY BE USED BY SYSADMINS TRYING TO USE THIS INFORMATION FOR CONVERSION PURPOSES! DON'T ABUSE THIS INFORMATION.
