MD5 is a hashing method, not an encryption, so you cannot decrypt it. You can however use a rainbow table such as md5.rednoize.com or you can brute force it.

Decrypting not very likely although MD5 has since been proven insecure and can be collided.

I strongly recommend you do not use MD5.
Use something like crypt() instead. A simple example;

$salt = '$2a$07$R.gJb2U2N.FmZ4hPp1y2CN$';
crypt("YourPasswordHere", $salt);

I don't think there is way for you to un-hash the MD5 but brute force.

http://www.hashtoolkit.com seems to be the biggest database of md5 and sha1 hashes.
