Hi Heil,
Hash algorithms are one way functions, so you can calculate the hash from a
value, but not the value from the hash (or it's so hard to do). in this
cases, you can use a new password generation mechanism. if the user forgets
it, you define a new one for him.
wish it helps.
cheers,

Hi,
I am using SHAManaged to generate a Hash value for my user passwords and
storing them in a database in this encrypted format. My question is, if
one of my users forgets thier password is there a way to un-encrypt the
password as stored in the database so as to retrieve the user password in raw text
format.
Thanks in advance
Neil
