PFMaBiSmAd Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 You cannot. It is a one-way hash. What are you trying to accomplish other than learning someones password?

Mark Baker Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 i have members on my website and i want to know if they can see their password with out changing it.As PFMaBiSmAd has said, md5 can't be reversed, so they can't see their password.

haku Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 They can't. Which is how things should be done - it's more secure this way. No one has access to their password, so they can feel confident that people aren't looking at their account. If you as the admin want to see inside their account, you will have to change their password.

Flames Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 it can be "reversed" using websites which use the md5 of known words + phrases etc and then it will pull it from a DB, but your looking for a bot to do it, and in that sense there is no way to do it.

Only a very limited number of hashes can be found on those websites though.

Only a very limited number of hashes can be found on those websites though. You could always use rainbow tables. =P They're big though.
