send password back to customer

[larryan]

Hi all
I want to send the password back to the customer when he/she forgot it. I use KKAdminIf to get AdminCustomer like KKAdminIf.getCustomerForEmail(adminSessionId, email), then I can get password by AdminCustomer.getPassword(). But the password is an encrypted one. How can I get a decrypted password?
Please help to point out.
Thanks
Larry

KonaKart encrypts passwords using one way encryption which means that they cannot be decrypted. Customers that have forgotten their passwords have to be sent a new password.

trevor,
Thanks you for your answer.
If password cannot be decrypted, why we need getPassword() method?
