The idea is that you don't decrypt the password, instead you match to encrypted string against each other and see if they match.

By encrypting the value that the user has entered in the password field in the same way that you encrypted the original password stored in the tableazri_bech wrote:how?

Well, no, if you encrypted the password, you can just decrypt it using the decryption algorithm of whatever algorithm you used to encrypt it.
However, if you hashed it, then you can't retrieve the original value (without hacking it, or rainbow tables).
