@king sting - There is no need to have the user's password...
Like Logician and g-force have said - You can get it if you
need it...
If you provided some valid excuse, like "It's for National Security" or something, I am sure they would be more than willing to help...
I stopped posting at some UBB boards before, because the Admins kept getting my password, and checking my emails...I would not be comfortable if the Admin of the site I posted at had my password, nor would I be comfortable with the ability to see users password AS the Admin of a site...
There are reasons for having passwords, and in all fairness, only the Owner of the account and all those who he/she gives it to should know it
