    You sent him his password? Does vBulletin not encrypt them in the database? Are they that easy to get at?

    Maybe it's a new password.

    I don't know how they are stored and I can't see them. All there is (at least to my knowledge) is an Admin function to "Send User Their Password".

    Well, it can't be md5() encryption, then, since it's irreversable.

    For $85 you can buy the source code and find out exaclty how they are encrypted.

    My guess would be they use PHP's mcrypt extension.

    Another method of doing it would be to md5 hash the password and then when the user requests it, the forum software generates a new password and sends that.

    No, that doesn't happen.

    Cool. I'm still curious how vBulletin store the password, though. Is there anyone out there that knows?

    Maybe I should look around their site and see if it says. Feel free to shut me up if I'm getting too far off topic here.

    Curiosity is OK. I just don't think anyone should post any code or SQL that would give anyone any hacking ideas.
