forget password thing gives "new" random string as a password. need to retrieve current user password as it is. in database passwords are stored in encrypted state, so to speak. thus maybe there's a way to decrypt it?

any ideas?

No, there is no way to decrypt the password. You a hve to retrieve the new password and change it in your profile.

MD5 and MySQL's PASSWORD() are non-reversible, as Jan said. Thank goodness; I wouldn't entrust my password to corrupt image gallery/forums administrators.
