All you need to reset someone's password is their email address. What if someone used this to annoy people, and reset everyone's password, including the administrator?

I think you should have the form instead send the current password to the email address, not a new one. It would be more practical.

It's up to you whether it does or not: http://scripts.webmastersite.net/wsnlinks/wsnmanu...

But suffice it to say that if a visitor can learn the email addresses of all your members then your members have bigger problems to deal with, namely loads of spam. Don't publish them.
