Im 99% sure it is just md5.
You cant undo md5 though, just not how it would works.
But you would just say is md5('mypassword') = to the password stored
in the database.
Hope that helps.

hi all,
I want to know that how we can encrypt the paasword into mediawiki.
we are providing paasword for each user. so if we use any encryption
technique like md5 and use salt then how to retrieve from the database
by reversing these.As i heard about hashing technique also.
which will solve the security issue. please suggest if any other
technique will solve better.
Thank you in advance.
