In the dreamweaver .ste file there is a field that contains an 'encrypted' password. If you need to retrieve this password, the trick is this: 1) find the password in the .ste file: pw="62767577697779" 2) break the password into pairs of hexadecimal (0-9,A-F) digits: 62 76 75 77 69 77 79 3) subtract from each hex digit based on it's position in the string starting with 0: 62-0 = 62 76-1 = 75 75-2 = 73 77-3 = 74 69-4 = 65 77-5 = 72 79-6 = 73 4) convert the resulting differences back into ascii: 62 75 73 74 65 72 73 b u s t e r s And voila... 62767577697779 => 'busters'.
