Hi Evan,

Hashed password cannot be recovered! It's a one way encryption, so decrypting it is impossible. Password reset however should be possible in that case.

Cheers,

Ok, I dont foresee that as being a big deal at all, thanks.

I was using the PasswordRecovery control and for it wasn't resetting the members password in Umbraco.

Therefore I hooked into the OnSendingMail event to get the password from the email body and explicitly set in in Umbraco.

initially I tried calling the ResetPassword Membership function and this didn't work (which I suspect is why the password is not set by the control - perhaps this hasn't been defined correctly in the Umbraco provider).

here is my code that currently does the job:
[code]
protected void OnSendingMail(object sender, MailMessageEventArgs e)
{
string newPassword = "";
Regex rgxLines = new Regex("\n");
string[] arrSegments = rgxLines.Split(e.Message.Body);
// extract the password from the email
for (int i = 0; i < arrSegments.Length; i++)
{
if (arrSegments[i].IndexOf("Password: ") >= 0)
{
newPassword = arrSegments[i].Substring(arrSegments[i].IndexOf("Password: ") + 10, arrSegments[i].Length-10);
break;
}
}

TextBox userName = (TextBox)PasswordRecovery1.UserNameTemplateContainer.FindControl("UserName");
// Need to reset it here so it gets hashed in the DB
Membership.Provider.ChangePassword(userName.Text, newPassword, newPassword);

HyperLink btnLogin = (HyperLink)PasswordRecovery1.SuccessTemplateContainer.FindControl("btnLogin");
btnLogin.NavigateUrl = SSLPath.NiceUrlFullyQualifiedPath(iLoginPageID, true, false, false);
}
[/code]

You also need to make enablePasswordReset="true" in the UmbracoMembershipProvider section of the web.config
