I need to find out a users password, not reset it. Is there a way I can unhash the password for a user to find the actual unecrypted password? Would something like Brute force work? Do I need to go that route, or is there a more simple way? Thanks a lot!
If the password is simple dictionary word, then yeah you would be able to brute force the password, within a few hours. If it is a more complex password, you would have to wait a few weeks (could go to months) for it to complete the brute force attack.
