hmailserver stores configuration in mysql.

If you use bundled mysql server, it is running on 127.0.0.1 address 3307
port. MySQL admin name is stored in C:\Program
Files\hMailServer\Bin\hMailServer.INI

Encrypted admin password is stored in same file. It can be decrypted with
C:\Program Files\hMailServer\Addons\Utilities\DecryptBlowfish.vbs

Users are stored in:
Database: hmailserver
Table: hm_accounts

'accountaddress' field stores username with domain.
'accountpassword' field stores password. hMailserver 4.2 uses md5
encrypted passwords by default.
It looks like 'accountpwencryption' field stores information about used
password crypto type. 2 = md5 hash. Contact hmailserver developers, if you
need more info.

change_password plugin does not support password schema used by
hMailServer. You can use mysql or peardb backends with some modifications
or write backend specific to hmailserver.

I suspect that SquirrelMail change_sqlpass plugin supports hmailserver
password encryption schema. $password_encryption = 'MD5' config setting.

hMailserver package includes two plugins in C:\Program
Files\hMailServer\Addons\Squirrelmail Plugins. These plugins depend on
compatibility 1.3 plugin, but this plugin version might be incompatible
with sm 1.5.1. Please contact hMailServer developers if you have problems
with these plugins.

Are you sure that you don't have TZ variable set in your environment or
have set time zome in php.ini? Please provide more information about used
PHP version. Latest PHP versions have more timezone configuration options.
