You're not meant to decrypt, the point is to hash and then accept input and rehash it, check for a match. — , Oct 06 '14 at 06:17
@Chirag1162 I checked on the website, and it returns `demo123` as the decrypted pw... check again md5decryption.com — Nishant Solanki, Oct 06 '14 at 07:21

You cannot unhash a password. That is the whole reason you hash a password in the first place.

It is possible to 'brute' force a password, or use a rainbow table to lookup the password - but that is why you (hopefully) used a salt on the password to ensure the hash is unique.
