Hoe to get Encrypted Password value varbinary field

I just converted from SQL 7 to SQL 2000 but have one issue.
My login table contains a password field that is a varbinary type. I
encrypted the value by using the encrypt('password') when inserting users
into this table.
How can I see the actual value of the password field. Is there a way to
decrypt?
For some reason, all the users passwords don't work. If I redo each one, it
works but there are too many to redo manually."yodakt" <dev1on11@.gmail.com> wrote in message

Try this:
SELECT CAST(myPassword AS NVARCHAR(100))
FROM myTable
Where myPassword is the VARBINARY column containing the passwords.
