vijayfreaks Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 Hi.. for that you have to reset it via random string and then md5 and store it.. and then send it to user..

Daniel0 Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 MD5 is one-way so there is no way to decrypt it. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/67760-forgot-password/#findComment-340401 Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdRock Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 I have the lost password feature on my site and I also have the feature where they can change their password. Basically, if they have lost their password, a new encrypted password is emailed to the user and the new password is updated in the database. I also allow the user to change the password to their own choice and that is also encrypted and put back in the databse. Have a look here http://www.devarticles.com/c/a/PHP/Creating-a-Membership-System/1/ for the lost password utility Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/67760-forgot-password/#findComment-340417 Share on other sites More sharing options...
