Answer 1

MD5 is a hashing function, so it cannot be decrypted. The only way of doing it is by having a dictionary (a database of a lot of MD5 hashes) and looking for your hash.

Answer 2

md5 is a hashing function, not an encryption function. You can't decrypt a hash. You can brute force it, use dictionaries, or exploit a hashing vulnerability.

You cannot decrypt what is not encrypted.
