Re: [Help]How to remove the md5 without problems

If you remove the MD5 - it will be normal for NEW accounts only -- and you will not be able to access the existing accounts without changing their passwords.

Someone who knows SQL will hopefully happen on this thread and help you. I know there's an easy script that will let you translate the MD5 column (which is the memb_pwd column of memb_info) - here's a complicated solution;

If your database is small enough, you can simply change the variable type to the memb_info / memb_pwd column and just type in new passwords - email them to your members. (make a spreadsheet to track the names, and put in random numbers etc...)

My database is too big for me to try this, so I use the 1.03n Joinserver with all of luciano's 1.00.16 files - works really well, and lets me keep md5.

Don't know if any of this was much help... GL
