but will a password encrypted in md5 at one site be the same as a password encrypted in md5 at another??
is all the encryptions the same?

Look it's obvious that you want to trick people into registering on your site so that you can try to steal their passwords and use them to access their accounts on other sites. 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.

In any system with "good" security, no one has access to the password, not even the administrator. 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]Then just have it make an entry in the database with a variable, and their account name, and send them a link they can click on, and then have them type in their account name, and a new password.
