    SHA1 decryption

    Hi there

    I found a way of encrypting text, like passwords etc... but how can i decrypt the encryption hash so it brings me back the original password?

    thanks!

    Technically, you can't decrypt something that's been hashed. That is, hashing is a one-way function. SHA1 fits into this category. You can always compare a hashed value to another hashed value, but you cannot "de-crypt" a hashed value back to it's original string.
