forget it.

you can't decrypt anything "encrypted" with MD5.

MD5 is just a hash of the value and the encryption/hasing is not reversible.

please contact your vendor to clarify what he really means with "encrypted with MD5"?

if you don't know MD5 read the following article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Md5
