MD5 converter to plain text tool for secure network?

[DSterling]

I have a NTP server on a secure network that creates a MD5 hash key, to use the key it needs to be converted to plain text so that it can be configure on our Cisco Nexus switches. 

My questions: Does anyone know a MD5 convert to plain text tool that is approved for the US military that is allowed on a secure network? 

Thank you, Dave

Hello,

this is not a direct answer to your question, but keep in mind that the NIST has not approved MD5, because it is a very old standard that can easily be cracked.
