I no longer have the password I used to scramble it....i encrypted it using the encrypter that comes with autoithelp...

[piccaso]

is there anyway to restore the code?

would obfuscation make sence if there was a way?

there's gotta be a way

[Generator]

there's gotta be a way

Nope

[EscapeTheFate]

Nope

so its impossible?

[PsaltyDS]

so its impossible?

Nope.

Just very hard and not worth it in the vast majority of cases.

It would have to be critically important and have a big payoff to get me to spend the hours necessary, but it's not impossible to reduce it to a reasonable, readable script.

It is impossible to get back the exact function and variable names, etc. Those are just gone. You would have to reverse all the string substitutions, then carefully parse the remaining code for the purpose of various variables and functions, renaming them along the way so you could understand the script. After many days and countless high-caffeine soft drinks you might get it down to a maintainable state. If you wrote the original, then it will be a little easier, because some of it will start to look familiar, and you can look for the functions of the UDFs you know were #include'd, etc.

Good luck with that.

This is more or less correct ...
