Changing Passwords & Password Encryption
User passwords are stored in the DataSpeeder database in an encrypted format using a one-way hash encryption method for security reasons. That means if a user forgets his password, there is no way to recover it.
To change a user's password, a user with admin permission must edit the User Account and specify a new password.
