	Hi, 

	You can store the encrypted password in a table, change your
password as you like, test your application, if it fails then you know where to look because probably the password will be somewhere in the application or you can put the encrypted pasword back in de original table.

        good luck

        I hope it's not possible to do this reverse engeneering for it would mean a
serious security-problem.
