There are a variety of PIX password crackers out there, but I believe they
are just brute-force tools. A Google search should turn up something
that works on your OS of choice. I don't think those passwords are
encrypted using a cleanly reversible algorithm - that would defeat the
purpose of the encryption in the first place :)
