title: How can I decrypt MySQL passwords
body: <p>The developer who created a platform my company uses is no longer working for us and I don't know how I can retrieve the passwords from a custom PHP application </p>
  
  <p>When I look in the PHPmyAdmin the passwords are ecrypted (eg *2470C0C06DEE42FD1618BB99005ADCA2EC9D1E19)</p>
  
  <p>How can I change or retrieve these?</p>
