Hello all,
I made a mistake configuring a Cisco ASA5525, where I listed the password as "ecrypted", but pasted the password as clear text. Is there anyway I can find out what it would've been "decrypted" to so I can login to the device?
Thank you in advance!

if you pasted a clear text password, you try the same password to login? ( copy and paste when you asked for password ?)
or if not work, show us what you have done to understand better.

I tried doing that as well. Here is the command I put in, where I marked a clear text password as "encrypted"
username Admin password AdminPass encrypted privilege 15

You will need to do a password recovery.
Boot into ROMMON and change the confreg value to 0x41 and then boot the system...as follows:
rommon> confreg 0x41
rommon> boot
Once in the ASA CLI change the password and then set the confreg to 0x1
ASA#configure terminal
ASA(config)# config-register 0x1
ASA(config)# end
ASA# write
ASA# reload
