multiplayer: company passwords

i set a password to my company when the game started, after a couple of hours i saved and left the game, today i restarted the server with the loaded game and i noticed that the password was cleared, then i re-set the password, played some time, saved, left the game, but left the server online because there was a friend of mine that wanted to play

when i'm returned i found that my company was passworded and the password didn't match

(i have to say that was a pubblic game, so people who wanted to join had no limitations)

so:
1) there is a bug in the password system?
2) when i find the stupid idiot that passworded my company i will kill him
3) code a way to recover the password if the client ID match the owner of the company (without re-loading the game)

Passwords are automatically blanked if the server admin has enabled autoclean_companies, an option used to remove companies which have been abandoned to make room for new players.

Additionally, passwords are lost if the server has to be restarted from a saved game for any reason.

the second one was my case, but is a risk if the player doesn't remember to re-set the password again (like me)
