I have designed a site that requires users to login. Me being new to
php, I hired a guy to help me setup the database. He set it up and it
works flawlessly. Well.. instead of helping me finish the project, he
has pretty much dissapeared.

Looking at the code, the passwords are stored using Md5 encryption in
the database. I was able to get a password retrieval form working,
but its sending the passwords encrypted.

Can they be retrieved unencrypted via form?

No

You need to reset the password.
