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 ?
