In theory u can do md5-collisionchecks .. sure i guess the passwords got a salt within the md5, but still, in theory its still possible to get the password back in plaintext Many examples from sweden about that issue (sites gets hacked and databases started to spread, even with salt they succeed to get passwords from this )

But, i guess you as admin don't have any interest of it
