Reset password

[joshli]

I am now working on a reset password. If the person has an email address, then an email should be sent to the user and then they will be able to reset their password. If they did not enter an email during registration, then there is no way to get the account back.

This is how the reset password system goes:

First, the user submits a request to the forgot_password form.
Then, an email is sent to the user with a link to reset the password.
Then, a form is sent to the user where they can reset the password.

Note that there is no way to retrieve a password because it is encrypted through a one-way hashing system called sha1 therefore a password can not be decrypted and can only be overwritten by a new one.
