I ask because if I should have a forum member [I should be so lucky . . .] who forgets their password how can I assist them ?
Happy New Year all !

Hi Jon, The 40 letter/number code is an encoded password either having MD5 or some other encryption. It can't be easily decrypted.
You can reset the password for the forum member & email them on their registered email address.
