You can't; that is why it is encrypted.

Hi ,

How to programmatically using C# or Vb.net change/reset FTP password ?

Don't scattergun the same request all over the site: you have a question in QA, leave it at that.
All you will do is duplicate work, and annoy those you want help from ...

If you know which of the scores of algorithms was used to encrypt it, there is a very remote possibility that it can be decrypted. If the person who coded the encryption algorithm was competent, though, it would take a very long time to work it out.

In short: you can't.

Thanks Gregory.
I was having a discussion with some colleagues regarding this topic and most of them says that it can be decrypted.
Thanks again.

Yeah, but if you don't know what algorithm was used to encrypt the password and the procedure that was used (like salting the password with some phrase, using mutliple algorithms, ...), you'll find it all but impossible to decrypt it.

There's only like thousands of different methods to encrypt something... Hell, there are cryptographic hash methods that are one-way only and you can't decrypt them no matter what you do!

hi Dave,

here's a sample of the encrypted password "YaGCdU8x0Ft+bWpjfeyhig=="
if decrypted, its Nsel2009.
