How are Passwords Stored in the Configuration Files?

The passwords in configuration files are either stored as a salted hash or in encrypted form (AES-256).

 

Is it possible to recover the passwords?

It is not possible to recover the plain text versions of user passwords, pre-shared keys for IPSec, or private keys associated with certificates.
