It is possible to reverse a MD5 hash, but it is practically impossible to get the original string back. For example, if your string is "password", and the hash is something like "bb34b23ba987c9879e", a string like "lsdfjllkjLKJlkj8(*sdf" could create the same hash. If you really want to protect your string, you should add a number to the MD5 hash. That way, a 'normal' decoded/ brute-forced string won't work... Smile
