I have installed the forum software called 'MyBB' to my website. I would like to use in order to access the website. Now what I am trying to do is make an application but user's will need to login in first.

I want them to use the username and password they used to sign up with. So, I have connected to the database and checked if the username and password exists then they can log on but I have obviously one problem doing this and that is they can't login using their password they used to sign up with.

So, I have to give them the password from the database. I want them to be able to use their password they signed up with. Obviously when you sign up the password gets encrypted to an md5 hash. It does it automatically because the forum software implemented it as a security feature.
