So what would happen if a member does not use his email address that he registered with anymore. Therefore he will be unable to have is password sent to him.

He then ask's admin to change it for him, how can this be done?

The admin could simply change the email address, and then have the password reactivation link emailed to the user.

What about letting the admin choose wether to use MD5 or not?

Its kinda pointless to try and suggest it now if you've already upgraded to 2.2.0.

md5 can't be decrypted as two strings could encrypt to the same value, so you wouldn't be able to find out the original value. So far the only thing people have been able to do is brute force.

positive as there is not enough combinations to account for every possible word, letter or phrase that could be encrypted, as md5 always returns a 32 chracter string with lowercase letters and numbers.

I didn't upgrade on my main forum I did it on my test forum ... that's why I'm trying to get that option to use MD5 encrypting or not for my main forum


and I hope they would consider putting that option for the admin


OK : I think I should change the request from how to show the passwords after the upgrade to

How to remove the password encryption from the upgrade file and have the password shown in the admin panel


that should be a good modification or a hack

I totally agree, it would be nice to have the option.

Every time I see this question posted, I have to ask.

What reason could you possibly need for seeing my password in your forums that is not already addressed some other way?

I have been working on computer systems as an admin for more than 20 years and I never want to know a user's password.

Help me understand your needs, and perhaps there are other tools I can suggest to solve your problems.

Thanks,

-t
