Encrypted Login Part 2 – Resetting Passwords

Level: Intermediate
Requirements: Dreamweaver CS3, Access 2003
Language: ASP, VBScript, SQL

Introduction

Following on from the original tutorial Creating An Encrypted Login, this tutorial builds on the original to show you how to set up the functionality to allow a user who has forgotten their password to request a new one.

This tutorial will make more sense if you have completed the first one. It is recommended that you do that first, although you should be able to follow the logic if you have not. This tutorial also deals with emailing the new password to a user, the method of choice for this tutorial is CDONTS. You can set up the script for use with another mailing component easily enough though.

Step 1: Creating the table.

As before we will only require one table based on the table from the first tutorial.

tblUsers
- UserID (Primary Key, Autonumber)
- Username (Text)
- Password (Text, Length:255)
- Email (Text, Length:255)

Populate the table with at least one entry for testing purposes, if you have not done so using the first tutorial.
