        byte[] data = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(unHashed);

MD5 is a hash function.

So it's only one way: there is no practical way to decrypt it.

Read the introduction of the wikipedia article about cryptographic hash functions to understand how those behave.

However, if you have passwords encrypted with this function, and you want to check that a user provided password matches, you can encrypt the user provided string, and compare the result with the encrypted blob that is in your database (which is the most common use for those function).
