What, like the registration details? If so, do you honestly think we're going to help you hack code? We don't encourage illegal activities on this site. If you have an honest reason for the request, then please enlighten us as to what it could be, otherwise we have to assume that you only want to do this for nefarious reasons.

If it's from one of your friends, could he/she not give you the source code? I still don't see why you need to do this.

If, and I stress if, this is for legitimate purposes then it really depends on what it was written in. If it was .NET, then the IL can be reversed quite easily using a tool like Reflector. Alternatively, if it's written in native code then you will need quite a deep understanding of assembly language and a good decompiler. There are books that teach you how to do this, purely from the point of view of trying to get you to put good security in place in your code. A determined hacker will ALWAYS be able to reverse your code. The ultimate aim for you, is to write code that is so hard to reverse that it's not worth their time and effort.

the application was compiled in VB 6 as it was done it vb6. i tried with a software which decompiles but it doesnt satisfy me at all,because it never generate function codes, only in hex mode which is binary. is there any posible to view the functions properly by reversing? if it is how can i go through this. thanks for much help.

You'll better orient your efforts to rewrite from scratch the application (or to get the sources from your friend). :)

No. The only thing you'll get by decompiling a native mode executable is assembly. None of the metadata needed to produce a higher level representation is stored in the executable.
