Assuming that you have access to the files where the passwords are kept, and you simply need to attempt to decrypt the passwords then tools such as 'John the Ripper' would likely get you where you need to be.

If you do not access to these files then it is likely that you probably should not have access to the passwords.

For more information take a look at:
