It can be done but it takes months to find them, it will have to be done with proper experts.

I suppose you could enable store passwords in reversable encryption... BUT that is a VERY BAD idea 99.99999% of the time. I would suggest you start by asking why do we feel we need to know the user's password? and then find a different way to solve that problem.
