It's already encrypted to decrypt you will have to run a password cracker on it.

The password is probably a hash. It cannot be "decrypted"; The process is a one-way transformation.
You can run something called a cracker on it, which will hash combinations of words and phrases, hoping that the hash produces will be equivalent to the one that you ask it to crack. If it finds a match, then the data that it hashed is almost certainly the same data as in the password. Hashes are useful because even if the password files are compromised, the passwords still cannot be recovered without a huge amount of work.
