Create hashed password using LotusScript and API call

This little bit of code calls one of the more than 2500 undocumented nnotes.dll functions that Lotus refuses to give appropriate information on. Anyway, the purpose of this code is an easy way to encrypt your passwords by calling this function. Hope someone has some fun with it. All written in LS.


Declarations:
Type KFM_PASSWORD
	xType As Integer
	hPword As String * 48
End Type

Declare Sub SECKFMCreatePassword Lib "nnotes.dll" (Byval pString As String, x As KFM_PASSWORD)

Sub Initialize
	Dim pA As String
	Dim z As KFM_PASSWORD 
	pA = Inputbox("Enter Password")
	Call SECKFMCreatePassword(pA,z)
	Msgbox z.hPword,0+64,"Password Encoded"
End Sub

And that is it..simple...
