User passwords in my sites database

    I have a classified ad site and right now, the user passwords are scrambled from md5. I was thinking of taking md5 out so when they register, I can see the password they registered with.

    Reason being is I've been getting a few requests asking for login information, but since the passwords are scrambled, I can't help them out.


    What are the cons of unscrambling them? I'm the only one who has access to the database.

    Thanks :)
