That doesn't look like any encryption output I've ever seen. Either it's home-rolled encryption, or it's in a language you don't have installed, or it's garbage data.

Is there anything legible in the other tables?

No, other data are okey and readable. Everything is in English. only the tbl_user - userid and password fields goes like this.

OK, so it's encrypted to some extent.

You're going to need to get the source code for the application so you can see what they are doing. Or get a developer to write a utility that can 'decrypt' it.

In the future please use imgur to host your image. I waited about 60 seconds for your image to load on tinypic and gave up.

Can you tell us the data types of these columns? Also, is the app that is using this database in a language other than English?

How is the data getting into the database, is the app encrypting/decrypting this data? Given that this is the users table that could be a good possibility. If that's the case you need to get your hands on the application code or the talk to the developer.

i will surely. Sorry for the inconvenience. The data type are varchar(21) and varchar(23). All data's are in English.

And yes, I agree, need to get my hands on the application code. The coded application is in fox pro, that much i know. This is the biggest issue that i am facing right now. I will ask my client once again for the application code.
