Okay, here is my couple of cents worth on this:

In many security schemes, passwords are encoded - often the encoding scheme is one way. Past passwords are often stored (ENCODED, I might add) in a "past passwords" file. When you go to change your password, the new password you request is encoded and compared to the encoded items on the past password list. If there is a match (encode to encoded) they will decline the password.

There is no way to determine what that encoded password is, therefore no way to easily recover as password except to issue a new one.

Nice conspiracy theory, but sorry, common sense in programming and security says "fake drama" all over your thread.

Second part is the people with high Epass balances and low daily take out limits. You guys make me laugh. If you have that much in the account, you should either apply for an increase in amount per day (I don't keep a ton, and my limit is much higher) or consider that potentially the way you are using the account and the amounts you are attempting to put through it are a little beyond what it was intended for. If you are using it, example, to avoid the expenses of processing checks and the amounts you are getting are large enough, you might want to consider asking your sponsors to wire money directly to your account.

A hammer is a great tool for hammer nails. It isn't a very good tool for making micro circuits. Don't blame the tool if you don't use it well.
