Hey

I installed phpBB forum on my system after I worked with WWF. I want to synochrize the sql database with my new mySQL database.

The idea is to build a script which will make a text file with the username, password and email.

The only problem is that the password is encoded and I don't really know how to go back and get the original password,

I will appreciate any help.

Thanks in advance

You can't get the original password back.

What you can do is just give everyone a new password, then email them with the code already written into the software their new password (ie.. the forgot password routine).
