Reset Password / Login funkiness
One of my users on http://www.cactusflyspray.com/oekaki couldn't login recently - which coincided with my recent upgrade from 1.3.6 or .7 to .8
Outside of not being able to use mail (BBSMailer not working, etc etc) I cannot reset his login.
When I go to the Reset Password option, it no longer shows what the stored password is. Instead it shows the Hash word
Valid password in database: (*snip*)
I try to reset the password to something simple like "poop" it "accepts it" (as in it doesn't throw an error) but I am still unable to login.
What am I missing out on?

Sorry for the wait. I've been gone for a week.
Normally, a cookie can only be read by the same web site that set the cookie. It's possible that the path got messed up. If so, this problem happens at the web browser level, not the server level, so if the web browser cookies are cleared, logins should work again.

No problem on the wait. You don't get paid for this, so I don't expect you to jump everytime we ask! 
Is it normal that the Reset Password option show the Hashed version of the password? I could have sworn that it used to show a "real" password.
