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! :)

This works good for me . I changed it a little though . http://www.vbforums.com/showthread.p...ght=encryption

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.
