Solution 1

You can't.
Unless you have the encryption key, they are designed to be as hard as possible to decrypt.

What are you trying to do that you think you need this?

The whole idea of encrypting the password is security. If you have the decryption key then you can decrypt the password. there is no other way. If there is any other way(assuming), wouldn't it make the idea of having the encryption/decryption futile.

I suggest you ask the database designers or previous developers about the key.

If you got the database from some website then make sure you read the documentation, it may contain some useful information.

As per I know,
If you do not have the encryption key, you can not do.
