    Hi,

    I'm using MySQL as Database. I'm storing my password using MD5 encryption.

    But for the link "Forgot Password" in my site. I would like to retrive the password from database. Now I'm getting the encrypted password. How can I get decrypt?

    MD5 is a one-way hashing. There is no way to decrypt it.

    You cannot retrive the password. but you can changeit. All services of forgot paswords are changeing password not resending the same password.

    Is the best thing because if soemone hack your server cannot get the all passwords. (Only throgh brut forceing and the chance to get valid passwords is 30 % - 40 % not 100% :) )

    Regards
    Adrian
