It takes a good 10hours+ to actually create a forum LOOKING PROFESSIONAL with php/mysql and that's if you know how to code in html/java/flash/php...
For people asking if a webmaster can get the passwords from the database the answer is NO. (Unless you are the author of the website (I MEAN YOU CODE IT) then you can, of course and if you code it then you know how to do (no need to tell you))
For people asking if you can hack the database the answer is NO unless you'd like to bruteforce for 12521 years to find the md5 hash of ONE password.
The easier way I could think of is by getting the code source from a open source forum (I don't know any so go google it) and just use the code and change the line with $password=md5($pass); to $password=$pass; (well depends on the syntax the author is using....it might be in the mysql query but SOMEWHERE you will see md5($SOMETHING); just remove the md5) and then you could access the mysql database and get all the password without encryption.
But this is a good 1+ hour to find it, change it and upload it (because you need a server to run appache in order to run your page AND SOME FREE HOSTING DON'T SUPPORT SOME PHP FUNCTIONS AKA MULTIPLE DATABASES AND SOME PHP QUERY AS SENDING PHP EMAIL)
