About Hashed Password

Hello everyone I am pretty new to nullbyte and have been reading tutorials for a few hours now.
However there is one thing I didn't get ( or may have missed, in such case please direct me to the right page)
But for instance if I access to my mozzila file with stored ( and hashed) passwords, how can I un-hash them ?
Thank you in advance for you replies.

Hashing is a non-reversible operation. You can't rely revert a hash.

In most case when you want to crack a password. You take the hash and try to force it with a dictionary attack or Brut Force attack.

Oh ok, so basically since I know the password I am looking for is both hashed and not a word but random letters and numbers, there is no way to get it from there and social engineering should be the way then ?

Thank you for your answer though !
