How to make a field a string field after it has been set to Password (2 Way Encrypted)?

I have been testing encryption options and set a string field to Password (2 Way Encrypted) but can't figure out how to convert it back to a string field. All field type options are unavailable once the field has been set to Password (2 Way Encrypted).

Thanks for the response. My issue is that I have already changed the field from a string to a Password 2 and would like to undo that. I could create a new field but the field is the OOTB social security field and I would like to keep that field and have it be a sting again.

Hi,

I doubt if you can convert password 2 -> string
