thanks

.

so i guess the mysql database is the administration db , even if i don't use it manually ?
is there something to limit the output on viewable amount (if i use a field wildcard like *) ?
well , the more important problem is that the password shows up in encrypted code - how can i see it in cleartext ?

Passwords in most systems are stored using a one way hash. The password is encrypted and saved but can't ever be decrypted. When a user logs in the system encrypts the user input and compares that with the value stored in the database, if they are the same the passwords match.
