Reset Password:
Enter your email address and click submit to have your username and a new password sent out to you at that email address.
Change of Email Address:
If your email address has changed you should contact the site administrator to update the database with your new email details.
Once this has been done you will then be able to retrieve you username and reset your password using this form.
Password Integrity:
DMANews stores an MD5 hash of your password, not the password itself, this enables the script to verify the password you supply
without the need to store the password itself in the database (by comparing the MD5 hash of the supplied password with the MD5 hash on file).
This means that no-one, not even the site admin, has the ability to "retrieve" your password, it can only be reset. While this may be inconvenient
when a password is lost, it has the benefit of being very, very secure.
