How to decode encrypted Wordpress admin password?

I forgot my WordPress admin password and I can see it in the phpMyAdmin

.

But this is in a different form.

How can I decrypt it to find out what is my password?

Is there any tool to decode passwords?

You cannot easily decrypt the password from the hash string you see. You are better off replacing the hash string with the new one from the password you know.

It says well here:

Basically:

If you have more users in this WordPress installation, you can also copy the hash string from one user whose password you know to another user (administrator).
