You can t easily decrypt the password from the hash string that you see  You should rather replace the hash string with a new one from a password that you do know   There s a good howto here   https   jakebillo com wordpress-phpass-generator-resetting-or-creating-a-new-admin-user   Basically    generate a new hash from a known password using e g  http   scriptserver mainframe8 com wordpress password hasher php  as described in the above link  or any other product that uses the phpass library  use your DB interface  e g  phpMyAdmin  to update the user pass field with the new hash string    If you have more users in this WordPress installation  you can also copy the hash string from one user whose password you know  to the other user  admin

MD5 encrypting is possible  but decrypting is still unknown  to me   However  there are many ways to compare these things   Using compare methods like so   lt  php    db pass    P BX5675uhhghfhgfhfhfgftut 0     my pass    quot mypass quot     if   db pass     md5  my pass            password is matched     else          password didn t match       Only for WordPress users  If you have access to your PHPMyAdmin  focus you have because you paste that hashing here   P BX5675uhhghfhgfhfhfgftut 0  WordPress user pass is not only MD5 format it also uses utf8 mb4 cli charset so what to do  That s why I use another Approach if I forget my WordPress password I use I install other WordPress with new password  P  and I then go to PHPMyAdmin and copy that hashing from the database and paste that hashing to my current PHPMyAdmin password   which I forget   EASY is use this    password    quot ARJUNsingh 123 quot  password hasing    quot    P BDSdKx2nglM 5UErwjQGeVtVWvjEvD1    quot  Replace your  P BX5675uhhghfhgfhfhfgftut 0  with my  P BDSdKx2nglM 5UErwjQGeVtVWvjEvD1    I USE THIS APPROACH FOR MY SELF WHEN I DESIGN THEMES AND PLUGINS WORDPRESS USE THIS https   developer wordpress org reference functions wp hash password
