Database encrypted passwords

We want to offer e-mail services to our users, so we're trying to build an interface between XOOPS and Squirrel Mail.
The problem we find is that, when we retrieve the password from the database, it's encrypted.
Is there a way to decrypt the password?
Thanks,
Atsekabe

No, it's one-way encryption. But you might be able to accomplish the desired result by encrypting the password that you want to check, and comparing the result against the one stored in the XOOPS database. XOOPS user passwords are encrypted as

encrypted_password = md5(unencrypted_password)


where md5() is a standard PHP function that computes the MD5 Message Digest.
