    It depends on what encryption has been used. I'm guessing it is the MD5 encryption algorithm.

    MD5 encryption is a one way encryption meaning you cannot de-crypt a MD5 hash.

    Sorry :-(

    It's probarly encrypted (perhaps using a salt). The script should have a lost password option I bet, check it out.

    If its a direct md5, you can change the value using the md5 function. If you look at the script you can probably find how the encryption is done
