Ronnel, you are right, we use SHA256.
Why would you want to change this to MD5? SHA256 is more secure.

So i can restore easily some passwords, because on my site majority of my users have fake email so they can't reset their password.

Ronnel, if you would like to manually restore passwords you don't need to change the hashing to MD5.
All you need to do is to:

1. Register a new special user. And remember his password. For example username is "james" and passwords you used is "jamespassword".

2. On your server find the ow_base_user table >>find username "james">> copy his hashed password

3. Paste this code into the "password" field of other user/users.

4. Since you as a creator of "james" username, you  know that password is "jamespassword". Send this password to needed users.

yeah i know that method, but i want to change to md5?

any help?

Anyone?

Why would you want to change from strong SHA256 to weak md5? You will a keyword dictionary or a tool to decript.. saying that, md5 is weak.

My Personal suggestion: This is not the starting point of learning plugin development.

Quote from Pete If you or making a new plugin then why ask how to change members passwords

Im not going to change members password itself.
im just going to change the encryption.

Ronnel, unfortunately there is nothing I can help you with, since this is custom code modification.
