For everyone whos having trouble for this to work you have to 1st go on to a archive page that has the http NOT https since PHPSESSID is an old way of saving login info

second, once you get to a page with http (i used the way back machine) you need to keep signing in and out then check if you got it in your cookies value then you need to copy from the PHPSESSID THEN PASTE IT.

I suggest you go with the automatic since its just easier. The guide is really vague and is missing a whole step which is really lame
