simple answer is no. the only way to decrypt the passwd is to run it through a cracker. All admins are used to this and know that if a user has lost a passwd that they are going to have to give them a new one, finding the old just isnt work one week of processing time :) Im curious to see how other php developers store their passwd's -plain text in db -use of unix password() -use of db password() -other ?
