you can not recover the forum passwords they use one way encryption, the forum already comes with a 'forgotten password' link which allows you to reset it, it is under the login boxes (when you are logged out)

Hi HurR,

My forum doesn't have the "forgot password" link under the Save Password even login or after logining out?

Beside other links above it has, just below it, it only have the Username, Password, Login, and Save Password. There's no "forgot password" link below the "save password" like this snitz.com forum? it never have one from day first until I just now realized.
Here is the link to my forum you can take it look http://www.whynotpictureit.com/forum/default.asp

Please help,
Thanks,
Jimmy

Do you have email enabled on your forum? if not you will not get the link, that is the only thing that decides whether to dispaly the link or not

Great HuwR,

Thanks for checking! Hopefully sometime easy to fix..
By the way, my bad! It does has the "see topic for days" after all... But it sure DOESN'T has "forgot your password" link.
Thanks,
Jimmy

Hi HuwR,

I just assigned an email in my profile. I hope that's what you asking?

Thanks,

No, HuwR didn't mean that. The forum must have email active - Email mode set to On in Admin Options->Email Server configuration. Also, the email server configuration data must have been set.

Hi HuwR, ruirib,

I clicked ON from the email mode just to try it. the "forgot your password" DID shown up after all.
Do I need to set other ON / OFF, or vice versa?

Please advice,
