Edit: misread your response, seems you don't need an explanation. Someone else my find some use in this.
Simple practice:
password -> 5f4dcc3b5aa765d61d8327deb882cf99
the hashed value is then stored in the database, if anyone comes along next and what's to know what: 5f4dcc3b5aa765d61d8327deb882cf99 is, your program will lookup the md5 and return the plain text version. But this will only work if you have computed the hash already.
Advanced practice:
Do a google search on Rainbow Tables.
