MD5 is one-way encryption. It can't be decrypted.

Also, follow up in a DotNet group.

MD5 is one-way encryption

actually its a HASH, there is no such thing as one-way encryption

encryption is reversable, hashes are not

Whatever there, mister precision.

You've certainly added a lot of value to, and totally invalidated my answer.

You may want to spread your anality to the several sources out on the
Internet that also refer to MD5 as one-way encryption. I'd hate to see you
pee your pants over such a gross inaccuracy.
