Nope, one way only. If you used something like mcrypt() it could be reversed.

Although it's no problem. As redhead said, just create a way to reset. The typical route is to create a unique key (md5 helps with this), store it somewhere on the site then email them with this key. (or a url containing the key) From there they click on the link (or enter it in a form if you wish) and the system validates the key, resets the password and emails the new one to them.
