Hi,

As I said it was the secure variable, so in xml I cannot see the correct vaule but AES encrypted value.

How can I restore its actual value?

The actual value is encrypted and stored in the config XML. 

The config.xml git repo is within the gocd db directory. You could explore the history to see the earlier versions of the file. The Web view from the link I gave earlier shows the config diffs. Since you had said that you had deleted the variable by mistake, looking into the history will help you get the variable with the encrypted value back. Once you restore it, you should be able to use it. 

Here's something from a temporary GoCD instance I set up to explore this for you.

Hi,

thanks for responsing.
My question here is, even in config.xml file in git the values have stored in AES encrypted. adding what from UI wont make any sense.
for example,

<environmentvariables>
<variable name="_USER" secure="true">
<encryptedValue>AES:hdgwjhdjhcklsjfkhclvjndfnvknklnvkfvhbvljf=</encryptedValue>
</variable>

<variable name="_PWD" secure="true">
<encryptedValue>AES:jfhjskdvbhwgxhekjbjkdvbjgcvjbvfjbfjbvfbvn=</encryptedValue>
</variable>

You can directly edit the XML from the UI:
Admin > Config XML

Are you sure you are not just trying to crack someone else's password
that you aren't really authorized to access?

It seems that you really want the clear-text password even though you
claim to want to restore.
