You're not going to be able to do it though so stop asking how. This site isn't for finding ways to crack into people's accounts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you cannot use email to send a new/temporary password to the user when they forget, then you should have them answer a security question or questions (e.g. mother's maiden name, city born in, etc.). then when they forget their password you can have then answer their security question(s). If correct, give then a new/temporary password. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racc Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 Me and a buddy had a proxy which stored all passwords in a database, i stopped it though. Abit too unethical for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
