    HELP Password problems

    Hello

    We have a MYSQL application where users register and provide all of their pertinent information.

    Rather than having them re register, we wrote a script (that worked just great with the previous versions of VB), when a user registered on our site, we automatically created them on the VB site.

    I upgraded to 2.2.1 over the weekend and the passwords on our main site dont work. I would assume it has something to do with the encrypted passwords.

    How can I keep the integration and deal with this new security enhancement? I have to fix this soon or I will have a lot of unhappy new users.

    Thanks for the help

    Before comparing the password from the form submission with the one in the database, do this:
    $password = md5($password);

        Was the database backup you restored recent? (e.g. it wasn't an old backup)

          Hi,
          No the database was used by a prior version of vbulletin. I think I was able to fix it. I reinstalled vbulletin and also uploaded the dump file. Same problem but then I just updated the vbulletin to 2.2.2 and I guess it converted the database or added the password encryption thing which was probably causing the problem.

          Thank you for your help
