You have to be a programming god.  Sorry.
Sounds like the moria pw was found using a strings(1)-type command.
Old rogue games used the crypt(3) command (DES encryption) and compiled
the crypted pw into the executable.  If you got a copy of it, you could
edit the binary and insert your own encrypted pw into it.  Strings would
find the apprpriate string.

I was playing around with mounting partitions w/o root access.  This
is on Ultrix 4.0 and can be done by anyone.  Talk about distributed
computing!  I see some interesting things here.
