I cannot find any password reset button #1586

I have enabled database authentication, but i have no password reset link when i am signed out it seems.

The thing is that i just upgraded(installed a new version in another folder) from an much earlier version(version 1.01), and i just want to inject the users into the mrbs_users table in the database, and send them all(300 users) an email to reset their passwords.

No, sorry, there's no password reset button.

Could you not just copy the existing passwords from the old version?

They seem to very different in syntax, so i dont think that will work :/

is there a way i can generate 300 passwords in excel or something, so that i can inject the password_hash into the database and at the same time send the password in plain text to the users by email?

In excel since i have the old user database in excel currently. Or in a format where i can copy the hash and plain passwords into excel.

It depends. In MRBS 1.5.0 the password format has changed to make them more secure. But it will still handle old style passwords and rewrite them on the fly. If your old passwords are simple MD5 hashes it should work. If however they came from e107 it may not.

Ahh, yeah, i just checked,and can see that it comes from e107. so that wont work.

Campbell: Do you have a comment to how to generate 300 passwords? https://sourceforge.net/p/mrbs/support-requests/862/#db6d

If you're up to writing some PHP it wouldn't take much to write a small MRBS script to do it.

Generate some random text
Put the hash in the database
Mail the user with the password
