passwords are MD5 encypted and MD5 is NOT decryptable.

You have to change the userpw with the ACP if you want to login with his account

OH well...I did not what to log in to a users account..as the ADMIN I knew I could change his password, I just wanted to know it.

NOT a problem.

Why would you need to know his password ;)?

The thing is a lot of people (stupidly) use the same passwords for lots of things so if your user had their AIM name listed in their profile the chances are their password was the same. If passwords were just left there for the admin to see then you would get a lot of security problems. Just like on windows anything passworded is encrypted. This is to stop the security risk :)

1. It cannot be done
2. There is no reason for it to be done
3. This has been discussed so much it numbs my brain, search and ye shall find.
