Whenever we set the DataSource for Broker to access database using mqsisetdbparms command the DSN userid and password will be saved in /var/mqsi/registry/(BrokerName).
The userid is saved as normal string and password is saved encrypted.
Is there any way to decrypt that password.

Is your query concerning the recovery of a lost password, or concerning the security of the encryption method (e.g. as part of an audit report) ?
AFAIK there's no published way to do this; a PMR may be of use.
I'm uncertain that anyone who's found a way of doing this would admit it on a public forum.
I'm uncomfortable with the method (if it exists) being published on this public forum.

There's no reason to recover the password.
Reset it on the database. Then re-issue mqsisetdbparms.

I'm sure it's theoretically possible.
I'm equally sure that no good will come of a) figuring out how to do it, b) publishing said method.
