Is there an easy way to decode the password stored in the database (for emergencies only)for a user? I got myself "locked out" a few days ago, and managed to recover my password, but it took some doing.

I also use a tool called MyPhpAdmin to manipulate the database directly.

Thanks !

nope it's md5 encrypted which is 1 way only..

it stops unscrupulous webmasters going thru their databases and retrieving other members passwords which could become a major issue if it wasn't encrypted..
