view a users password?

[bhall23]

in phpmyadmin it shows the password as random stuff, encrypted.. how can i view my users passwords as they actually are?

You can't because of security issues. If a hacker gets into your database and can see unencrypted passwords they can gain access to your board and do what ever they like to it.

You can't. They are deliberately MD5 hashed for privacy and security concerns.
