	Hi! I too have this problem. I import about 3000 users in a new installation of the forum. I import from plain text, but the password does not work after import. If I alter the password after having sent a new one from the login page, then it works. I believe there is something wrong with the import function when encrypting the passwords. I know that I am using the correct database fields regards, Steinar

	Try removing line 403 of admin_import_members.asp and see if that works.

	Hi! No, this did not work either. There must be something else. Is it possible to import in plain text and login in plain text? Steinar

	Passwords would need to be encrypted. Make sure the passwords that you are bringing in our not encrypted. The generic import tool does work in allot of cases, but as you don'[t know how the data is stored then you can not guarantee that the import will work. For example if the imported data is in a different character set it can mean that it would fail.

	Hi! The character sets are identical: database_default and nvarchar. Usernames from import are like: demo Password from import are like: demo01 Is there a way to check if the passwords are getting encrypted the right way when importing? Steinar

	They are encrypted in the correct way as other people are able to use this tool and in our own tests it does work. However, like I mention many things can course issues, although the database maybe using nvarchar it may not store the data in the same way. The database may be using a different collation the data may have used an ISO character set on the previous website to store the data, and Web Wiz Forums is using UTF-8. There are many possabilities that could course the type of issue you have.

	I had the same problem. I did the import on almost 11.000 users (and it was a pain, since the server always timed out!) and they can´t login. The password field used to be plaintexto too. I will not go over the import process again, since I had to do it for each letter. So I´m choosing to let the users retrive their login via the password remembering page. The problem is... The "Forgot your password" link is not showing up!!! Why ? Do I need to activate it somehow by a forum config ? It´s a brand new wwf 9.5 instalation. Any help ?

	You need to enable the email notification from the email settings page in the admin area. You will then see a 'forgotten password' link next to the text box you use to put in your password.
