I have an issue where a web developer created a database on a hosted SQL server and did not save the encryption key. The database in question has only one column in one table encrypted the password field.
I am at a loss on this one. here are my thoughts on a possible solution:
1) create a new column ie. password1 apply encryption after the fact. remove references in the login php include to reflect the change and re enter the passwords
2) delete the old password field (and hope that this removed the encrypting of that field and recreate it column)
any help would be appreciated. i already tried to set the encryption off and failed with this error as there was no key
"Cannot change database encryption state because no database encryption key is set."
