I think that generally you do not want passwords to be decryptable. What I normally do is try to encrypt whatever the user enters as a password and compare the resulting encrypted string with what's in the database to make sure they correspond. If the encrypting function is univocal (and md5 is) then the correct password will always return the same encrypted string.
