MD5 Newbie question

md5 is a hashing function that cannot be reversed.
Are you planning on creating a "Forgot password?" function and what to send the user his original password? That can't be done using md5 hashing.

What you can do is this:
1. Encrypt and decrypt the password using the CI encryption library
or
2. Keep using md5 and instead of sending the original password just generate a new one
