Hacking Google Chrome

I recently installed Google Chrome and I like it. However one thing has been bugging me and that is the way it does not let me save a password for a site, once I have blacklisted the site with the 'Never for this site' button.

However, with a little digging, I was able to figure out how to do it. The steps are below.

1. Download SQLite Database Browser from here.
2. Close Google Chrome. If you try to make this change with the browser still open, not only will the change fail to take effect, it will hang the browser and you will have to kill it.
3. Launch the 'SQLite Database Browser.exe', ignore the Security Warning, and click Run. Open the database located here: C:\Documents and Settings\{account}\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Web Data
4. Open the Browse Data tab, and open the 'logins' table. Scroll horizontally to the 'blacklisted_by_user' column.
5. Find the row having a value of '1' in this column that you want to reset. Double-click on the row and change the value to 0, and click 'Apply Changes'.
6. Save the database, and close the SQLite browsing window.
7. Open Google Chrome, navigate to the site, and login. The 'Do you want Chrome to save your password?' bar will appear.
