returning authentication from hash password

[TG]

I have code to encrypt a password using the
FormsAuthentication.HashPasswordForStoringInConfigFile but I need to
know how to take that hash password and return it back to the form
having authenticated it from the database and allowing the user to
continue with their session.

Thanks

I've never used HashPasswordForStoringInConfigFile, but the entire point of
Hash' is that you can turn them back to a string from the hash. You use
them by creating a hash, then taking a user input, and instead of unhashing
the first one, you hash the user input and comapre the two hashed values.
