Heh, sorry... I didn't see that either of the others had replied, I took too long to type my response.

Karter: your problem isn't with SMF. It is with PHP and MySQL. The reason that passwords aren't documented on how to decrypt them is because it is near impossible, and I mean that with all sincerity. Also, it is a potential security risk (for people registering) to allow you to view their passwords.
About the support not being great.. I think you might not be talking about the same forum software ;) This is probably the best support ever. Replies usually take place within minutes/hours

You saw that here!
And, the issue of &#whatever; - why are you editing it directly with phpMyAdmin? You can edit it so easily with YABB SE/SMF! But, use htmlentitydecode()... err I think that's the function name.
The SSI for SMF includes a checkPassword function to check and authenticate log in information....

btw, an XML forum is going to be unbelievably slow.
Overseer:
is the password encrypted? i thought it was a hash.. in which case it cant be decrypted... thats why u have to get a newly generated password... look up hashing and not encryption. (try looking up SHA-1 or MD5 )
