| Hey guys,I am a total newbie so here goes. I have a database that stores a password for an application that I work with. It stores it as a hashed value.(At least I assume it's hashed. It is a bunch of letters and numbers.) This program is somewhat poorly designed and does not offer a password recovery should the user forget their password.My question is: Is there a way to reset the hashed password and if so how? Any help would be very appreciated.Thanks,Ryan |

No.Hashing is a one-way street.You will have to save a new hash for the new password. I can't get into more details than this because I don't know if you use a salt or not, nor which hashing algorithm you use.
