So after someone registers on the site, I use bcrypt to encrypt their password which gets stored in the password column of the database. Now if they forgot their password, I want to email them the password so they can login and change it. How do I reverse the bcrypt encryption to get the original password back?
Bcrypt is a one-way hash. You cannot decrypt it. What you can do is send them a reset link which, when clicked, will allow them to set a new password.
