How is the information stored in the database? If the password is stored with the crypt() function, it is extemely difficult to retrieve the information. How is everything set up?

I wouldn't bother doing it. I would just reset the password, tell them what you reset it to and be done with it. Now if you are using something like Cpanel, they can change it themselves as long as they remember the Cpanel password. Don't really know of a script and I would think that is a bad idea.

The passwords are not encrypted, they are stored in plain text.
