Why?

Anyway, the password for a user is stored in a one-way hash in the DB (As far as I read anyway). You cannot reverse engineer it.

I dont want to reverse engineer it, i want to be able to writn a password, md5 it and compair to the hash in the db. but if i md5 my password it dose not become the same as in the vb database.

vBulletin's password hash is: md5(md5('password') . $salt);

The salt is stored in the user table.
