the182guy Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 I don't know of any guides but the usual way of doing this when using MD5 passwords is to generate a random password and change the users password to that, then email the user the new password and let him change it to something more memorable.

ignace Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 Just let them type in their e-mail, send them an e-mail with a reset-password link, let them choose a new password, hash it, done.
