 * What is the password encoding in SQL for wordpress 2.8.2? … because its not MD5
   anymore, and i lost my password, and its the same password i use for a few other
   accounts… due to the stupid “remeber password” … so i’d like to decode my password
   rather then reset it >_< is there anyway to do that? it looks something like :

 * The encoding is MD5-CRYPT. The hash can be generated on a unix platform with 
   the command, grub-md5-crypt, which prompts for the password when invoked.
