Is there any way I can retreive the password from the database . I saw the password was stored in some format like this : "dgtelt24475klfpwyem663" . Is there any way I can get the raw password ?
Use the forgot password tool?
No, the whole point of it being encrypted is that you can't get the plaintext password; otherwise a hacker who got access to the database would just be able to decrypt them, so there wouldn't be any point in doing it Smile In my opinion you should be concerned if a forum system or anything similar is able to tell you what your password is.
Could always just reset the password...
