Recover Lost Eggdrop Password


There's no simple way to recover the original password you set on the bot. You need to edit the bot's userfile directly and reset the password. The userfile is usually in your bot's main directory and has the .user file extension, e.g. NiceBot.user. There are two ways you can do this - either telnet to the shell and edit the userfile in the shell's text editor (e.g. pico), or FTP to the shell, download the userfile, edit it on your system, then upload it to overwrite the existing one.

First, kill the bot from the shell (if you don't do this, the bot may overwrite any changes you make to the userfile). Then find your entry in the userfile. The example below shows a user entry for "CoolDude":

CoolDude    - p
! #pigs           910669920 fo
! #cows           952889739 fo
--HOSTS *!cool@*.coolisp.net
--PASS +vGjzQ0zcBbK/
Delete the password line, e.g. --PASS +vGjzQ0zcBbK/. This will delete the your password.

You can now restart your bot. When your bot appears on IRC, you will need to set your password again using the msg command, i.e. /msg botnick pass .
