Re: Encrypted Password
Hi twc,
IMO password encryption is not too useful, if the password is stored in a cookie even in encrypted form, as cookies are vulnerable to XSS.
Long answer: we had a long discussion about reimplementing the login securtiy of CMSimple_XH based on PHP sessions. But that would require a rewrite of the plugin loader, as currently no session must be started before the plugin loader is called, so we decided to release XH 1.5 first (there were a lot of changes already, so it took quite some time), and to postpone the implementation of a session based login to the next version.

Re: Encrypted Password
Hi boishakhi,
well, this is a support forum for the content management system CMSimple, and not a general computer or network support forum. Plenty of those are available, so you might try your luck there.
But as the question is quite easy to answer: ask the admin of the network for the password. If you don't know who's the admin, ask your teacher. She should remember who gave her the password or set up the wifi connection on her laptop.
