MD5 hash.

[Plux]

I am deleting some hackers that created admin accounts from a backup of a database but I also need to change the admin password for a client in the database itself however I encountered a '77' behind the MD5 hash that I have no clue of what it does. What is this used for as it is not part of the hash?

 

Here is the entire entry:

(1, '******', 'e78b951ed150338b92658e5b3f5204fb:77'),

I edited the MD5 hash and replaced it and left the '77' intact at its location however I am getting told now that the password is incorrect for the login. And yes I did hashed the password before replacing the MD5 string with it.

It clarifies to me what is happening however the PHP code given is not usable as the function tep_rand() is never defined so I got no clue what it does.

Maybe you could help me out a bit and provide me with a hashed version of a plain text password. As I presume I can reset the password again from the admin panel. Meaning I will just need one that works.

 

*Just thought of it will I not need to alter anything else related to the password in the database before I can actually login with that password?

I already solved it. I wrote a custom script.
