Hi,

the password stored in downloads.ini is a hash-value for security reasons. This 
means that '' is not a valid password. If you make the admin's password '', 
MLDonkey will set it back to an empty password, which could be represented by 
this value:

 users = [
  (admin, "31D6CFE0D16AE931B73C59D7E0C089C0");]

This doesnt mean you need to log on with 31D6..., but with an empty password. 
If you enter this:

 users = [
  (admin, "secret");]

MLDonkey will also set the password back to the value above, because "secret" 
is not a valid hash value.

If you want to set a special password for the admin user, use the 
telnet-interface. However, you are discouraged from using an empty password for 
a public available server.

Cheers, Alex
