   I want to connect to another wordpress installation, but I'm stuck at configurations.

   So far the database information is correct as it can find the admin user from the external database. But even if I input admin password, it returns "invalid password."

   I assume the problem is at encryption method.

   I've tried MD5, SHA1 and none of them are working.

   I don't know what to write in Other encryption field if trying to connect to other wordpress installation.

   If you have any experience connecting two wordpress database using this plugin, please advise.

   I think it should be in the form of:

   $password2 = $password;
   $password2 = md5($password);

   but above two would never work.

   There're three different auth keys set at my config.php, but not sure which one is used for passwords encryption.

   any expert outhere?
