if i've md5'd my users passwords, whats the best way or good ways to design a 'forgot your password' script? i haven't made them into a secret word in or anything, all i have is their username, password, and email as far as the info they have given me. anyways....having some options would be great!

I've seen the reset feature being abused quiet a lot on user websites. What I usually do is:

 

Send email asking them to follow link to change password.

User follows link and confirms that they want to reset their password.

User enters new password.

Update db.
