I have encrypted password but is there any way to decrypt it and get the normal password?

not if you used crypt() :) ... well I shouldn't say that. not unless you have a lot of time on your hands to crack the algorithm

If the password is from the basic authentication header it's easy (it isn't really "encrypted"). But like isivt said, if you used crypt, forget it. Tracy Dryden
