thank you all guys for your response.
ibmtech: when i reset the user's account then the user can connect again with new password. i tried this but the problem is that every few days these users need to reset their password because in their opinion the "correct" password that they enter is not accepted by the system and need to reset it. no i dont have ssh logging set. how can this help?
Corona688, Neo: yes i understand that what i am trying to do is considered "attack". i was wondering if there is a way to decrypt the password like aix is doing when the user enter his credentials.

No. You cannot decrypt a correctly implemented one-way hash function. Period.

That is why it is called "one way".

I'm closing this thread because it is not possible to decrypt properly implemented one-way hash functions and these forums are not hacker boards for discussions on how to break and attack security functions.
