There are no functions to decode MD5 encryption. Are you look to compare passwords? If so, then take the string and encrypt it using MD5, then compare the two encryptions.

If there are not, how about someone lose their passward, how can we tell them?

Reset their password to a string filled with random alphanumeric characters and send them it via email to the email registered with the account. Then prompt them to reset their password once they login next.
