or replace the Hash with an Encrypt / Decrypt, if you really need to find
out passwords

Hashing is one-way encryption. Can be beaten (usually slowly) by brute
force password guessers.

How desperate are you to find the password?

What the others guys are saying makes sense. Take the password management
away from yourself (as the sys admin). Let users request new passwords be
e-mailed to their account's e-mail address.

     You can't.

     All you can do is generate a random password and send it to the user.
     You will then have to save that new password (Hashed) in your
     database.
