we have one application where we create new users and password. The backend of the application is SQL Server database.

It has a table called "user" where it stores all usernames and password of all users.

When I view the table to view the list of passwords, it shows all the password in an unknown format even though data type is varchar(30).

I'm not sure how I can view the actual password. Is there any way to view it in readable format??
