I forgot my WordPress admin password, and I see it in the phpMyAdmin file.
But it is in a different form.
How I can decode it to know what my password is?
Is there any tool for decoding passwords?

The WordPress password storage for the login passwords is fairly secure. The passwords are encrypted and stored in the WordPress MySQL database. However, the password for the WordPress MySQL database itself is stored in the wp-config. php file in plain text.
Encryption means the data (such as the password) can be decrypted if you have the right key. Most passwords, however, cannot be decrypted since they weren't encrypted in the first place. Instead, one might be able to recover them by running a lengthy attack.
Wordpress uses MD5 Password hashing. Creates a hash of a plain text password. Unless the global $wp_hasher is set, the default implementation uses PasswordHash, which adds salt to the password and hashes it with 8 passes of MD5. MD5 is used by default because it's supported on all platforms.
You can't easily decrypt the password from the hash string that you see. You should rather replace the hash string with a new one from a password that you do know.
There's a good howto here:

Basically:
If you have more users in this WordPress installation, you can also copy the hash string from one user whose password you know, to the other user (admin).

just edit wp_user table with your phpmyadmin, and choose MD5 on Function field then input your new password, save it (go button).
