The IP validation is unreliable because some ISPs like AOL change their user's IP all of the time.

we have "enable ip validation" checkbox in config. administrators who has AOL users can disable it. but checkbox value not used by forum now.

Storing the password inside the cookie is very dangerous, since the hacker can simply steal it from there.

not password but just one-way encrypted hash like md5 for password change verification. it is safe.

right now anyone who has my cookie can login as admin any time and i can't do anything to prohibit this.
