Hi,
   The problem that I now face is that when I send the username to retrieve the password I get only a set of *'s as the password.Is there any setting in DNN which I should do to enable this.I am using version 4.5.5.
Thanks in Advance,
Bobby

Does your site actually permit password decryption? If you use the default settings in web.config, the passwords are stored as a hash such that passwords cannot be retrieved. If you've done that, but also set the option to permit password sending, then the *** might indicate that it's trying to send something that can't be retrieved.

Fortunately I came across this topic, as I'm having the exact same issue; not the password gets sent, but a bunch of asteriskses. The site is configured for retrieval, the passwords are stored encrypted, not hashed. What could cause this behavior?

Best regards,

Yep, I easily figured it out myself ... password retrieval works, it just does not work for Super User accounts. I tested it as administrator. Users can retrieve their password just fine. Silly mistake. Sorry!

Best regards,
