	* Password field(s) can be encoded in anything, and it is encrypted using a one way md5 hash.

This means that we can not reverse the md5, thus if a string was encoded in an arbitrary language, we can not do the proper DB migration for that. Possible solutions:
			**auto generate new password and send to all users?
			**add to passwords one more field - like "original password encoding", fill it while upgrading, and then at user loging in, before compare with hash make translation of entered password to login's original password encoding (by engine like iconv). Upgrade system may time to time perform check, and when all "original encoding" become to UTF-8 - can remove this column and related code. This will be long but soft convertation life...--[[User:Ne Nashev\|Ne Nashev]] 07:41, 26 March 2006 (WST)
