You, sir, are correct.  I saw what I wanted to see. That's not the
hashed UserPW, but the user ID.  The hashed PW would be more secure of
course, but the DB_Password will still be a difficult item to guess at.


Is there anyone here that was assigned a simple single word MySQL DB
password by their shared server host?
