It's HA1:

HA1 = MD5(A1) = MD5(username:realm:password)

(you can also check in org.sipfoundry.sipxconfig.common.MD5Encoder)

You cannot extract clear text password from that. But you should not need
them for anything (since clear text passwords should be only used to
produce HA1 for sipXecs realm anyway).
