Basically there is a dll CryptoSoft.Cryptography which i need to use to decrypt the password, I don't have the source code to that dll.

Sounds like there's a null object reference inside the Cryptography constructor. I would contact the people that produced it.

would it help if i post the dll here? i mean not the actual source code but the dll?

Not unless the dll developers happen to read this forum. Sorry :(
