How to decrypt the password saved in the mysql database when creating users on Redmine

Added by Jason Gibsson about 12 years ago

Hello all,

I have installed redmine 1.2.1 on my organization is using redmine for past 2 years, (Thanks to Jean-Philippe Lang).
Now there is a requirement that we have to pull out some password entered in users database table in order of inspection, but these password seems to be encrypted such as "25aeb935e502fdd4efe51ff2301b5015"

So we just want a method to decrpyt this to the original password, Please suggest an appropriate method for the same.

Thanks in advance.

You can reset passwords but not get the original password back, that's the point of a using a secure hash function to store password, it prevents stolen data to be reused.
