Hi ,

Its better if you change pass4symmkey and stored it securely somewhere for future use.

Although below blog give script to decrypt password, you can give a try:

You have to put single quotes around the key - and in one attempt I had to remove the trailing equal-signs.

BTW - there's also a splunk show-encrypted --value 'topsecret' - which creates strings starting with "$7$" - but I have no idea how/where to use it.
