i'm not sure is this is in the right forum if not i'm sorry,
is there a way i can see members passwords in my database i'm not sure how to do it,as a member has lost her password and i need too find it,i did ask her to change it but she said no,lol

It can be viewed in the Control Panel under Password Protection icon......drill into the directory that is listed and pretend to "add" another user, and the list should be seen.

It is also very handy to print out each "confirmation page" after you set each one up, and then sticking them either into a file folder or like I do, in a binder.

WHOOPS! I just realized that if you are talking about to a FORUM, you need merely go into your ADMIN panel, USER MANAGEMENT >> Look up USER, and then view their profile as Admin.

i've tried looking into my admin panel, but it does not show her password only if she needs to change it, but she don't want to lol, i need to find her original password when she joined my site

Then do the Administrative thing and reset it for her....(such is the life of managing, right?)....if necessary, remove her name, and re-enter it with a new password (which will apply to all earlier actions/posts/etc.)...
