IIRC the method to _encrypt_ the password is exposed via API, so you 
could try this method (cannot find its name right now, have to scan the 
javadoc) -- I think the class was CmsObject ?

if(lUser.getPassword().equals( 
cmsObject.encryptXXX(request.getParameter("password") ))

there is, of course, no way to decrypt it :-)
