Problem description:

I was curious to see if there was any way or any program that I could use on host files to extract world variables.

You see, On my game, there is a passcode saved as a world var, which allows you to access the Administrator Control Panel. Unfortunately, I only possess the host files to this game, as the source is on my other laptop, which crashed. The game, however, is still online and active because we have the host files, it's just none of us have this world var password for the control panel.

The only thing to my knowledge that could really do that would be a DMB Decompiler, and you won't really find anyone possessing thing.

A string extractor can do this. BYOND user Bandock wrote one, so politely ask/bother him

I have one from the '08 years. But I doubt it works, it's on my old half dead laptop.

When you say "crashed", does that mean you cannot boot into your Windows OS, or did you just end up losing everything due to an outage?

I know from experience that it's possible to recover files from a completely "dead" system. It's just a matter of regaining access to the file system. Do not reformat the hard drive if you haven't yet! You may be able to recover your files by booting from a USB drive, then copying any important files you find using a command line tool. This might also be possible using a Live CD in combination with a flash drive or other media.

You should always remember that while your OS may be gone for good, it's more than likely that your personal files are still perfectly fine on the hard drive. Of course, it's always best to keep things backed up, just to be sure you don't lose anything.
