You're storing passwords in the clear? That's really not a good thing. :P

A better system is to store at least a non-reversible hash of the password. Then when the user forgets their password, give them a temporary link to a reset form.

<?php
session_start();

$email=$_POST['email'];

$connect=mysql_connect("localhost","root","") or die("Could not connect to database");

mysql_select_db("dbsalon", $connect) or die("Couldn't find db");


$email_check=mysql_query("SELECT password FROM users WHERE email='$email'");
$count=mysql_num_rows($email_check);
$subject="Login Info";
$message="Your password is .$count";
$from="From: cj_reonz@yahoo.com";

mail($email, $subject, $message, $from);
echo "your password has been email to you";

?>

.Password is not goin to email

In order to help you with these, you should publish your serverside scripts where you wrote the lines of code that send the email.

<?php
 if(isset($_POST['submit']))
 {
  $mail=$_POST['mail'];
  $q=mysql_query("select * password from register where mail='".$mail."' ") or die(mysql_error());
  $res=mysql_fetch_assoc($q);
  $password=$res['password'];
  $msg='Your password is '.$password;
  $sub='Send password';
  $header='From: your mail id';
  $m=mail($mail,$sub,$msg,$header);
  if($m)
  {
   echo'check your mail';
  }
