Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Security
# set this to an encrypted string taken from the Profile file

$encryptedBytes = [System.Convert]::FromBase64String($encryptedProfilePassword)
Write-Host "Encrypted Bytes" -ForegroundColor Cyan
Write-Host ([string] $encryptedBytes) -ForegroundColor DarkGreen
# Unencrypt the data.
$bytes = [System.Security.Cryptography.ProtectedData]::Unprotect(
$encryptedBytes,
$null,
[System.Security.Cryptography.DataProtectionScope]::CurrentUser)
$plainTextPwd = [System.Text.Encoding]::Unicode.GetString($bytes)
Write-Host "Decrypted Data" -ForegroundColor Cyan
Write-Host $plainTextPwd -ForegroundColor Red |
