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,
