Lost passwords on user enabled sites

[Nick Stocks]

Can you make something which will send you your password when clicked? I've
made a subsite so its only accessible by people who fill out the
registration form which was made using the Frontpage template, but theres no
obvious solution for people who loose their password other than deleting
their account and getting them to re-register. I can't see where the
passwords are stored on the server. It uses the 'Send to Registration Form
Handler' option, not Send to database as ASP is not supported.

If anyone can understand and help with this then please do

No tools or addins are available for self registration

The user accounts are added to the subweb it is targeted at (on the server)
Open the subweb in FP and see Tools Server Permissions

The registration form does allow self registration for access to a subweb
specified in the form properties.What I want to know is how to recover
passwords which, once registered and operational, become lost.

You could use a thing called "Dynamic Authentication Filter" (DAF) that
rides on a local AD account.

You can set it up to query a database or a text file, and assuming you got
the tools to inject user/pass with a form into that file... getting the
original password is as simple as a query of the text file or database.

It's about $150. Pretty simple to set up.

If the user is using the FP Registration component, then they are on a
Unix/Linux server.

You can't access them
all you can do is add / delete users at the subweb online

Ive found where on the site the usernames and passwords are stores, there in
www.web.com/subweb/_vti_pvt/service.pwd. However the passwords have been
encoded using "DES" (or so i found out after searching the web). Anyone know
of a way to decode them? probably better to email me rather than posting it
all over the newsgroup for any malicious hacker to see
