| Hi vani Your terminology is wrong; MD5 is an Hashing algorithm, not an Encryption algorithm, and as such there is no way to reliably get the original string. This is the prime reason why MD5 is used for passwords; in the case that an attacker penetrates your security, the passwords are still unusable (without rainbow tables or heavy processing power). If u fetch for FORGET PASSWORD than it is better to use base64_encode or any other format which is having encryptng and decrypting technology. I hope u can get idea after this. ![]() |
