In short no. For quick results, do password recovery.
If you work for the NSA, I'm sure the answer would be yes. :) Otherwise,
if you're really bored and have lots of time on your hands, there's brute
force cracking, or the excitement of pre-hashed things called rainbow
tables.
However, the latter two would likely take a long time even with a grid
computer system. So I'd recommend the first two suggestions up there. In
extreme circumstances where those aren't an option, you can likely pay a few
semi-inebriated college students some good beer money to go hang someone
upside-down from a tree until they will tell you what the password is. In
that case though, you window of access opportunity is fairly small, but the
jail time to contemplate how good the password was should be sufficient.

Hey guys,
Is there a way where we can decrypt the enable secret password from the
config.
Thanks
