Hi Ben,
From the MySQL man online @
http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Miscellaneous_functions.html#IDX1330 :
PASSWORD() encryption is non-reversible.
To create a forgot your password page, the best method is to generate a net
password and send that new password. To make it easier to your users to
remember their passwords, the best way is to set that password as a temporary
one, that only allows them to set the original password. (maybe using a
diferent field, so they can keep the original password if someone else goes
to your site and request the password, just because he was bored.
