Encrypt / Decrypt password?

Environment: NT 4.0 Server (w/ latest service pack), MS-SQL Server 6.5, ASP,
IIS 4.0

Web application has a login / password ASP page.

Would like to know how users' password could be encrypted and stored in the
database. Also, should be able to decrypt the password to facilitate "Email
my password" functionality for users who forget their password.

Tried CAPICOM.DLL. But it encrypts a 10 character plain text to 142
characters (for Algorithm = 3, 3DES). This would require password column in
application table to be of approximately 150 characters!!! (there are 2000
users! Would like to avoid large column width).

Am not sure if I could use CAPICOM.DLL for this purpose.

Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance
