Hi @ICICI Bank Atlassian Support Team 

It doesn't store in an encrypted format by default and it has to be configured, it's a plain text password in the confluence.config.xml file, and if one has configured the encrypted password in confluence.cfg.xml file, please find the below doc to decrypt the password

Hi Pramod,

Thanks for your Prompt response!

Below URL we was previously seen but, it's not working on server level, We are not using the Cipher tools. Could you tell me the exact where I see DB encrypted password in sever.

It is very useful to us, If you know because we have major priority on this help me!

Hi @ICICI Bank Atlassian Support Team 

May I know if you are able to access the database using the password which is present in the confluence.cfg.xml file (Confluence home directory)

Please let me know

Thanks,
Pramodh

By definition, if you are using an encrypted password, the plain text version is not stored.  You will need to decrypt it using the cipher tools, and that means you'll need the encryption password to decrypt it.  You need to ask the people who encrypted it for you.
