Decodes a password from HeidiSQL. HeidiSQL passwords can be found in the registry. Use File -> Export Settings to dump all settings. Great for if you forget a password.

HeidiDecode.js

function heidiDecode(hex) {
    var str = '';
    var shift = parseInt(hex.substr(-1));
    hex = hex.substr(0, hex.length - 1);
    for (var i = 0; i < hex.length; i += 2)
      str += String.fromCharCode(parseInt(hex.substr(i, 2), 16) - shift);
    return str;
}
document.write(heidiDecode('755A5A585C3D8141786B3C385E3A393'));

And how encode a password?

I need to generate a settings file for Heidi with php for my all databases connections?

Thank you!

Thank You all :)

Thank you!

@IsraelIglesiasBIT not sure if you still need it considering this comment was two years ago, but here's a PowerShell solution for encoding passwords for Heidi:

    $heidiPass = "password"
    $obfuscatedPass = ''
    $shift = Get-Random -Minimum 1 -Maximum 10

    for ($i = 0; $i -lt $heidiPass.Length; $i++) {
        $char = [int][char]$heidiPass[$i] + $shift
        $hex = $char.ToString("X")
        $obfuscatedPass += $hex
    }
    $obfuscatedPass += $shift.ToString()

a javascript snippet to encode a password:

function heidiCrypt(plain) {
  crypted = ""
  shift = Math.floor(Math.random() * 10)
  for(i = 0; i < plain.length; i++) {
    crypted += (plain.charCodeAt(i) + shift).toString(16).toUpperCase();
  }
  return crypted + shift;
}

console.log(heidiCrypt("password"));

Genius. This saved me big time. Thank you!

Nice, this saved me a few hours to find my old password backup
just in case, here is a MSX BASIC version of the code 😎😁

10 LINE INPUT h$
20 st$ = ""
30 sh = VAL(RIGHT$(h$, 1))
40 h$ = LEFT$(h$, LEN(h$) -1)
50 FOR i = 1 TO LEN(h$) STEP 2
60 st$ = st$ +  CHR$(VAL("&h" + MID$(h$, i, 2)) - sh)
70 NEXT i
80 PRINT st$
