How to decrypt password in MVC5?

Question

See more:

I am using MVC5, i know that if a user forgets his password, then MVC provides the feature of forgot password and reset password. My client server is disconnected from internet or mailing, it is behind the firewalls, so i cannot use forgot password, as it might generate a link to reset password, but cannot mail it to the user to facilitate the password reset.

What I have tried:

Please suggest if there is any way to decrypt the password(to let user know if he forgets his password) like how it was available in asp.net membership by simply using the GetPassword method of the membership classes.

First off MVC has no authentication feature at all, it's simply a presentation framework for websites. If you have passwords etc then you'll be using a different framework to implement that such as ASP.Net Membership or Identity.

As for the question, it depends on how the password is stored. If it is hashed (which is the default) then you can't decrypt it at all. If you don't want to reply on email then you can always right your own password reset feature (for hashed passwords), or password decrypt page if it is using encrypted password, google "asp.net membership reset password" for more details, these APIs are well documented.
