Set the blnEncryptedPasswords variable in the common.asp files to false. Also read the comment in the code about what problems can arise. This can only be done with a fresh database and you will need to edit the password for the admin account. If you have members in your database then they will no-longer be able to login. Without encryption on passwords please beware if a hackers gains access to your database they will have all the usernames and passwords to hack your forum. ------------- 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 |
