You cannot enencrypt the passwort after it is encrypted, which is the point of encryption. What you can do later is check an entered password, encrypt it yourself and compare it with the saved encrypted password.
Joomla password encryption is documented in several places: www.google.com/search?q=joomla+password+encryption&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t
