Please tell me why you're asking that question. It sounds to me like you're trying to reverse-engineer passwords. Why on earth would I ever tell you how to do that!!!!!!

SALT is very well described in wikipedia and numerous other places in conjunction with cryptography methodologies.

Not trying to reverse-engineer passwords, I use a script to generate passwords incase you get locked out of your account. I know theres a SQL script to get back in but I like to do it my way.

When looking at the password in the database I can see its using salt.

Anyway forget it gees.

Zen Cart already has a password reset feature. That's what should normally be used.
The logic for all of that is in the password functions files. A simple search of the PHP files for "salt" and/or "md5" also gives the information on how it works.
