Thank you both for the replies,So if i have bitcoin in the encrypted wallet,When i Withdraw from the wallet i will be required the password,I wont Want to change wallets,Ill keep the same wallet

You will be prompted for the passphrase any time you attempt to send bitcoins or sign a message, but you don't need it to receive bitcoins or see your balance. There's no reason for you to ever decrypt your wallet, as that would pointlessly decrease security.

You can *dump* the private keys using the console if you wanted to move them to another wallet (note that you need to be aware of *change addresses* if you go down this path).

Hello Bitcointalk,I am looking for Some Advice about the bitcoin-qt ,I have recently got the latest version and encrypted the wallet,I am now left wondering How i UN encrypt the wallet if i desire to

There is no functionality built into the wallet to un-encrypt it. The private keys all remain encrypted.

Ive never used the qt befor as i use the blockchain.info wallets,So Will i be asked to enter the Passphrase Upon Withdrawals?

Yes.

Anytime the wallet needs to access an existing private key, or create a new private key, it will require you to enter your password. The password. This will allow the wallet to decrypt the necessary private keys or encrypt the new private key.
