How do I decrypt passwords?

["Stephens, Drew" <Ds...@rippe.com>]

I have a question about decrypting passwords from the User_Login table.
We need to prepare a file of User ID and passwords to an external
system, I think I have found the programming used to encrypt and save
the password to the database but I could find not any logic to decrypt
the password.  Obviously, if we can't decrypt we can't provide the
password.  I don't want to reverse engineer the encryption logic and
then write a new decryption logic; I want to use something that already
exists.
 
We are running an old version of OFBIZ, I think 1.1 but I don't remember
exactly how to find out for sure.
 
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Unless the code has changed since I looked at this previously, you
can't decrypt a password as it is implemented as a one-way hash.  You
can only update the password with a new one.  This is a security
feature.
