If the only thing holding you back is simply a bug in the system then it's still bad security. And besides, even if you could only get forum passwords, some people use the same password for everything on the net.

Impossible to get passwords, as I said short of someone telling me it. They are stored in md5 encryption in the MySQL databases. And md5 is one way encryption. And the e-mail password doesn't work.

Admins have a great deal of power of the forums, hence why they are admins. But a certain level of trust must be in existance also.
