Thanks it worked. But it returns encoded password. Actually there is scenario when i ask user for his passowrd before performing certain action. I plan to store the current user password at logon time in session and later when ever re-validation is required just match the entered password with one in session.
For this either i need to decode password found through PasswordCredential or i have to encode palin password entered by user.
