How To Decrypt Php Md5 Passwords

man, today i was trying to get back into my forums and when i looked into mysql database i saw that the passwords were encrypted in md5 it has a number like this:

eb41c03898f04612a4bfd84c6d6c5f4e

so dang, how do you decrypt that into normal letters?

well, if you are thinking you can get it back, you are sol!

there is no way to get it back. md5 is a one way hash, which means you can only encrypt it but not reverse the decryption, its not possbile to do dycription . so what you can do is login to phpmyadmin and change the password using md5 to you whatever password, in other word, you cant decrypt.

also i wanted to do this because i wanted to send my users their forgotten password. for example, if a user forgot their password, i want to be able to send it to them in plain text but instead my passwords are encrypten in md5 i cant give them their password, so the only solution is to write a script for them to change their password, thats why you see many sites you have to reset the password, in otherwords, you have to change the password or reset it once it has been confirmed by you.
