all passwords are encrypted and stored in the database in their encrypted format.

As well as MD5 encryption, vBulletin also adds salt (a random 3 character string unique to each user).

So is there a way to un encrypt (im not sure thats a real word) these files.

[peterska2]

not without knowing the salt used

Is there a way to find out the salt used and therefore get the passwords.
