if it's hashed then no. hashing is a one way operation.
if it's encrypted then you'll need an encryption key to decrypt it.

encryption and hashing are 2 different things.

Where is the name and pwd stored and how is it hashed.

If you want to be able to do this why do you hash them?

Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
DTS can be used in a similar way.
