I'm trying to find where the encrypted passwords would be located in the database, where would this be? And exactly how would I get there?
I have a test forum on local where I am simply teaching myself how to do many things, but this I cannot figure out.
I'll give you the benefit of the doubt here...
DB -> mybb_users -> password
Kinda obvious, don't you think (*slaps*).
I'm new to this, so it wasn't really that obvious. :/
You're looking for a user password... User table, under password.
I, personally believe this to be a security risk, but that's just me.
If you're teaching yourself things -- the difference between encryption (reversible) and hashing (one-way) should be paramount. MyBB does not encrypt passwords, that is a major security risk. Anything that can be encrypted can be decrypted. MyBB hashes them, which is non-reversible. Stuff cannot be "unhashed".
But in response to your question, Ben is correct. You may also be interested in the hash_password function in (iirc) inc/functions_user.php.
Edit: Ninja'd twice.

By the same person, no less

This could possibly be the
update_password or the
salt_password functions in
inc/functions_user.php.
