[Help]how to know the password of a user.

greetings, the problem I have is that one of my users forget their password, now anyone can tell me how to change the password or know that password is.

pwAdmin can change passwords

Yea, that's easy. Account info is in the MySQL DB...

Which encryption do you using for your passwords? If it's md5 go your phpmyadmin and then go your database. On users tabs you have to find his username. After find that just go edit it and you will see something like 913r894ug9hfdbjfdgb or something. then replace it with "e10adc3949ba59abbe56e057f20f883e" (without ") and his password is changed into 123456. If not md5 you have to find which encryption you using then encrytip password you want to set and replace it. Good luck.

1. Every time I read somebody calling MD5 an encryption, I have the urge to direct their attention to the wikipedia hash article.
2. It's md5(username.password) (or whatever your concatenation operator is in your language)
