Passwords are encrypted using a one way system. i.e, there is no way to
unencrypt the password hash. You can use a brute force attack on the
password (you encrypt your guesses at the password and then compare the
encrypted hash you generated with the one in the SAM, if they match, then
you've guessed the password...)
If you need to do that (and there is no real reason why you would need to,
if you need access to a user's account then as a domain admin you can change
their password. If the user has forgotton their password, then give them a
new one.) take a look at Lophtcrack
