You can't decrypt hashes. They are one only way by definition. Also there is on such service as encryption.

But if I want to edit my password? I get so in my form:

<input type="text" id="fieldpass" name="pass" value="c0bd96dc7ea4ec56741a4e07f6ce98012814d853" class="form-control" >

You can't edit it in hash form, you need to set new one. Also you should use element password not text.

I updated latest answer, I'm not using phalcon forms but perhaps you need password element, not text.

In any Password reset system, you SHOULD ask the previous password, compare that to DB if the right one was supplied, then compare the new password with a confimation and then set the password to new hash value. Most systems have 3 fields: Current, New, Confirm New.
