I don't know if this is done through server side scripting (ASP/PHP) or maybe Javascript, but since this forum (PHP) is so popular, I posted it here to get some fast feedback

Ok, I have downloaded an ASP Forum from Web Wiz Guide and I went behind the forum code to see how they coded some "thing". It came to my attention to see how they manage to do the Encrypted Password.

Situation:

When we successfully register to the system (Username & Password), and went to the database to see the password field, all I can see is some numbers and alphabets combination.

My password is: monie, but in the database it displays this:

BC2BFC83DBD77018D12B980BE82933332B99977A

This is really a secure way of storing a password! Even the Admin guy of the forum doesn't know the user password!

So my typical simple direct question is, How to do that?

Thanks in advance.
Cheers...
