Hello,

The password are one-way encrypted, and can not decrypted. You should create a new password, if you don't have an old one.

Yes, I'm.

It does not decrypt anyone. It does copy only hashes from backup files to a proper file.

Please check this for general information on Linux passwords: http://www.tldp.org/LDP/lame/LAME/linux-admin-made-easy/shadow-file-formats.html

If it's not stored somewhere as a plain text, then yes, there is almost no chance to decrypt it.
