Description: This restores the functionality in 6.5 for the admin to edit users passwords. 6.5 already has a function to mail the user a temporary password, but that's of little help if the user isn't able to get the emails or continues to have trouble.
Info/Instructions: Quick and dirty hack to restore functionality.
Disclaimer: Please backup every file that you intend to modify. If the modification modifies the database, it's a good idea to backup your database before doing so.
Note: If you modify your UBB.Threads code, you may be giving up your right for "official" support from Infopop.If you need official support, you'll need to restore unmodified files.

You don't need this in 6.4 - Threads had this functionality built in prior to 6.5 - so you can edit a user's password when you edit the profile (look for the dots). But in 6.5 they took this functionality out.
If you mean the ability to view a user's password - that's not possible, the password uses one-way MD5 encryption... so you have to reset the user's password to something else and tell them to login using the password you've set for them.
