Password Recovery


Passwords cannot be recovered because of the impossibility of reversing the stored cryptographic MD5 hash.

If a user forgets his password, he will have to be assigned a random password which he can then change to one of his own choosing. During this generation process, the secure 128 bit cryptographic MD5 hash of term A1 is again calculated and stored as the basis for future authentication requests.
