Why you want to decrypt a dreambox password mate?!!!

p.s I think you have to use a hex decrypter...

If your talking about the linux OS password then it cant be done. The password is stored in the OS password database as a one-way hash which cannot be converted back to the original. Linux allows you entry by taking the password you type at the prompt, hashing it and then comparing it to the hash within its password database file. At no time does it actually un-hash the password to compare (its actually not possible - the algorithm used doesn't allow such things).
