Not an actual hack... but... Login on non vB page PLUS pass-protected pages

I know it has been done before, but none of the scripts I?ve found have been exactly what I needed, so I managed to get this small script (yeah, it?s a script, since you don?t have to modify any vB file). Thanx to kode and Blast for some codes!!!!!
