How to create user using encrypted password (LAPI & Java)

I am working on a module that obtains user information from one Livelink database and creates identical users on another Livelink database. The module is being written using Java and LAPI. Here's the issue: When I obtain the user information using the 'GetUserInfo' function the password field of the returned object is encrypted. Now I have to create a user with the same name and password on the other Livelink database. However the 'CreateUser' function requires a password field that is not encrypted. How can I decode the password field of the returned object? Is there a way I can create a user using an encrypted password?
