You can't decrypt them, that's why it's called one-way. The only way to get the password is to encrypt guess words with the same algorithm and checking if the result matches the encrypted password. So if your encrypted password is a9d82da, guess what it might be - maybe "frank"? - and encrypt that word, and if you get 29d8afd, you know the password is not "frank", so try another word. If one of them encrypts into a9d82da, then you know that's the password.Passwords are often guessed this way by using a dictionary - a simple list of words - and automatically encrypting them one by one and comparing the result with the encrypted password. Another approach that takes much longer is to try every possible combination of characters, such as aa, ab, ac, aaa, aab, aac, aba, abb, abc, etc. This can take weeks, months, even years, depending on the algorithm used and the speed of your computer.
keeping hidden from public view any passwords that are posted in the work area
A username is an account set up by a computer administrator. An administrator has full access of the data stored and can do such things as add or remove software. A username is good because it allows multiple people to use the same computer but at the same time restricting access if desired. Passwords are group of characters that are encrypted to prevent or slow down access to unwanted users. Most PC user do not have the software like ophcrack to hack and obtain passwords.
Input type, password can be used for putting passwords. It will make the inputs as bullets.
PQSERVICE is a hidden partition by Acer used in Acer, Packard Bell and EMachine's. It contain Recovery files, drivers, software like eRecovery and passwords.
MD5 is one of the ways of encrypting passwords and making them secure than leaving them plain. MD5 is of bit 32.
the md5 algorithm ike passwords assigned by the network administrator
File encryption utilizes passwords and strings of digits to ensure file safety and security. It is meant to ensure that data cannot be compromised. There are many ways of encrypting files.
Can I get user passwords from the AD database? A: The passwords in AD are not stored encrypted by default, so they cannot be decrypted. They are hashed. The only way to recover the data from a hash is with some sort of a hacking algorithm that attempts to crack the hash (such tools exist).
Passpack uses a US Government approved algorithm to encrypt your passwords to which only you hold the key so it is very secure
Normally, recorded passwords are hashed, not kept as they are written. When a user logs in, their password is hashed with the same algorithm used as the recorded ones, and the match is made. That way, if the database is hacked, in theory, the hacker still doesn't have usable passwords.
PCTools has a software program for password generation. All it takes is a simple algorithm and a number generator to create as many passwords needed to secure a site.
SHA is cryptographic hash function used to encrypt passwords. The SHA hashing algorithm is not restricted to Unix, though. It is typically used to verify the integrity of some downloaded file, to make sure there was no corruption during transmission. Your Windows or OSX software may use this same algorithm without you knowing it.

Power-On passwords, Drive Lock passwords, and passwords used to authenticate users.
This really depends on which password you mean. Most user passwords aren't so much decoded as they are hashed through alorithms such as MD5 and the result compared to a stored hash for the password. If the hashes match, Linux concludes the password is correct. Passwords are done this way as checksum hashes can't be reversed. They are assymetrical, meaning running a hash through the same algorithm merely results in another hash, not the password. This is a very secure way to store passwords.
