As passwords are 160 bit one way encrypted, they can not be recovered. This means that the forgotten password feature needs to create you a new password. When you use the feature a new password will be emailed to the email address in your profile. If for some reason you do not get the email your only solution is to log in as the admin and change the password for the user by editing that users profile. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

it might be the mail server IP has been banned by the ISP, your email became corrupt , what mail component are you using. |

I'm not really sure what to use, but right now it's:
CDONTS (NT4/win2k)
Take care. |

if you can its best to use CDOSYS , as CDONTS is on web servers but not really used that much, it doesn't come with Win2k3. CDOSYS also handles URL's better |

depending on your server you may be able to have localhost, is your mail server on the same server as the web site? also you can contect your host as you may need their mail server or you may be able to use your own. depends on the server |
