How can I decrypt a password form mysql database of my wordpress blog?
When I go to my phpmyadmin(mysql manager) I see a table called wp_users in which passwords of all users are stored but they are encrypted(Example: 3khj4k2lk32lkdddlkfk4kl43ljkfkdl but thats npt the real password). So dus anyone know how to decrypt it?

- A hash (hash code/digest/message digest) is an encrypted form of a data. A hash of the password is generated and stored in your database. In PHP hashes are generated using the PASSWORD() [41 byte] , md5() [128-bit (32 hexadecimal characters)] and sha1 [160-bit (40 hexadecimal characters)] functions. You need to know which function was used for hashing the password before it was stored (you can identify this from the word press source code for creating a user account) Then you need to know mysql or php wherein you write code to decrypt this hashed password to its original characters. http://www.theedifier.com/blogging-blogger/
