Decrypting the password that we get using "getVmPassword" API

Hi -

I am using getVmPassword() API to get ENCRYPTEDTEXT

now i would like to decrypt using the following methods described in the
wiki.
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=34014652

$ openssl enc -in ciphertext -out binarytext -d -a

cipertext - has the encrypted password text.
after executing the command , getting empty(0 byte) binarytext file!

next step returns password
$ openssl rsautl -decrypt -in binarytext -out plaintext -inkey private.pem

am I missing anything or the documentation has typos ?

Thanks
yarish kumar
