I am wondering if anyone can give me any help logically. 

I am finding a match after 9 reductions on the hash 19fbc7c1 in my rainbow table. I know what the PW for 19fbc7c1 is after running the brute force. I have a rainbow table that runs 10 reductions.

If I print out every PW and every hash in that row that leads to the collision... I do not get a value that matches with the PW for 19fbc7c1.  Nor do I get a hash of 19fbc7c1.

Maybe I am not understanding how to parse back through the rainbow table. Could someone provide me with help in the next logical step to take upon getting a match in my rainbow table?
