PhP MySQL CCS2.1
Has anyone managed to create a password retrieval routine for a md5 hashed password stored in db?
I know you cannot retrieve md5 hashed password but something similar like PHPBB2's account activation would be just fine. (create new password and send it to the user with a link to the activation page).
Thanks

Do You want the system to send a password, or you want that after reset user enters own one ?

when the user hits a reset button ...
autogenerate password with:
//this will generate a random pass in lenght of 6 chars... you can change it...
before update event ....
$user_password=substr(md5(uniqid(rand(),1)),0,6);//Random Password
send by e-mail the password before encryption :$user_password
(write some message ...)
before update event ....
$users->user_password->SetValue(md5($user_password));//This will update the encrypted password ...
This is the easyest way ...

if you want the special reset link...
create a "secret_code" column in users table ...
(each user need a unique one ...)
and generate link with that code to be sent by e-mail...
so when user clicks on that link will ge buton to reset password ....
