I'm thinking that the MD5 function more than likely encrypts a password to
store into a database, and when you log in using the MD5 function it will
simply encrypt the value being passed along again the same way. Now I'm
wondering what happens when I user has lost there password and needs to
retrieve it, there is no way to reverse the process is there?
Thanks
