yep, hence it is not stored anywhere.... If only we can convince a lot of people of that

because the hint is not encrypted and they may have thought that plus wanted to confirm the password and didnt read that it was the hint... so yea i dunno if that made sense but yea i know what i was on about...

lol

That was one of the possiblities. I was just going to check the location of the password and come to a definite conclusion

Bang on... The definite conclusion is that it IS the hint; the guy on IRC simply typed his password in the hint box.

So either he didn't read the label properly, or either something got lost in the translation. If it is the later, it would be helpfull to know what translation he was using so that this can be checked out... (MeEtc?)

MeEtc: The hint is stored starting from offset 0x23 as a unicode text. Thus not "with spaces in between". What you would see are the unicode characters which consist of two bytes each. For normal ascii characters the second byte (LSB since it is Little Endian) is 0x00. In notepad this is shown as a space since it can't show ascii character 0x00....
