Unless I'm mistaken, the password encryption is a one-way process as far as VB is concerned. When the PW is input to VB, the encryption is performed and compared to what is in the database. The ability to decrypt the password is not something that VB is designed to do, and that's for security reasons, therefore emailing of an existing PW is not possible which is why the only possibility is to email a link to reset the PW. I'm sure there are external processes which will decrypt the PW, but that's not part of VB.
