Reset Password using Security Assist 1

I used to create sites as a hobby/side job and have since closed down. I am trying to help a friend by encrypting the password in his DB and need to create a Password reset page.

I have SecurityAssist 1 with DW CS3 . I do have some older version of DataAssist, Universal Email, and other exts that came with the super suite a few years back. Any documentation or tutorial on how to do this?

I would gladly upgrade to the 2.0 version but it is not compatible with CS3 so I'm kind of stuck with what I have.

Thanks

I wanted to just have a password reset where I generated a password and then e-mailed it to the user. However, since I am encrypting the password I am having trouble sending a random password to the user and then using that same password to be stored in the DB after encryption.

Well I think I have a workaround that will take a little extra time/effort. I'll implement a password reset that:

1) Requires the user to input a new password that I can encrypt and easily e-mail the decrypted password to them
2) Add a personal security question that they choose the answer for and require it for all new registrants/existing registrants
3) Add a generic validation question to help stop SPAM bots

Thoughts? Is there an easier way to do this?

actually, the archived documentation section of the security assist support page has a tutorial for creating a new password page that will generate a random password, store it in the database using encryption and email the non encrypted value:
