If the password is md5, then no - you can't reverse it because md5 is a
one way hash.
If you want to have bi-direction encryption/decryption, look into using
mcrypt. - just not on windows... Because it will make you want to kill
yourself.

Is there not any way to reverse the crypted password before e-mailing??
If not, how do I use ENCODE / DECODE?
