    You can’t de-code the passwords in the database. They have been hashed using a one-way algorythm, meaning that you can only hash them, you can’t un-hash them.

    As far as I remember (I could be wrong…) the passwords are hashed uisng MD5, so you can check using something like this…

    SELECT ID FROM wp_users WHERE username = 'chosen_username' AND password = MD5('password goes in here')
