is there any command to find user password?

Answer Posted / choyal

No, No one can't know the passwd because it is stored in in

/etc/shadow file as MD5 Hash ,
and link at /etc/passwd.
We can convert Value(passwd) to Hash but not Hash to
value(passwd)
Super user is also not able to retrive passwd......
