- WHAT MINCRACK DOES
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- MinCrack will recover lost email passwords that are used by the University
- of Minnesota's MINUET program. Forgetting one's email password, especially
- when it's saved on disk, seems to be a common problem for many people, so I
- decided to help out by writing this password recovery utility.
-
-
-
- HOW TO RUN MINCRACK
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- In order to recover a lost or forgotten MINUET email password, simply type
- the following on the DOS command line:
-
- MINCRACK <config_file>
-
- Replace the <config_file> parameter with the name of the MINUET configuration
- file. This file is usually called 'MINUET.CNF' and resides in you \MINUET
- directory or somewhere similiar.
-
- MINCRACK will read the MINUET configuration file and print the email username,
- address, and password that are used when fetching email.
-
-
-
- *** Notes ***
-
- (a) MINCRACK does not verify that the MINUET configuration file you give it
- is a valid one, so it will most likely spew out garbage if you don't
- use the correct file.
-
- (b) MINCRACK has only been tested with version 1.0b16 of MINUET, so if
- you find a version that it doesn't work with, let me know.
