If you somehow forgot your password on your computer (in-game) then this is your program!*
*Try pressing Ctrl+T on startup before using

1. Unzip the file on your desktop (I recommend using 7-ZIP)

2. Just place this "startup" file in C:\Users\<USERNAME HERE>\appdata\Roaming\.minecraft\saves\<SAVE NAME HERE>\computer\disk\<NUMBER>

3. Then place a Disk Drive beside your computer and insert the disk with the program inside.

4. Wait

5. PROFIT!!!

If you see this program anywhere else and the user who posted it is NOT "Ludburghmdm" report it to me!

That only works if the user doesn't already have a disk drive ontop of their computer that is blocked off from pass crackers. This isn't the first time its been found so you didn't come up with it completely and can't claim everything other than your code. All you have to do is add a program named startup to the disk drive near a computer and it overrides a computers startup. But if you put the disk drive on top with the real startup none of the other disk drives can override it. Ta-dah!

unless you pull out the top floppy:D But i agree, this is really nothing new.

Also the rom loaded disk startup protection scheme written by Advert/Espen here would also shut down outside floppy use regardless of such things (unless the password is guessed or found out anyway).

Granted the above does require access to the server if on SMP, but the change is compatible with 1.3 even though it was written for 1.2.

I know I'm sorry I'm just out of ideas (and lua programming experience)

try coding an encryption/decryption function. It's always needed.
