The md5 of that:

i may try doing that. sounds like fun memorizing hashes.

also i set up a website one time and when i went into phpmyadmin to look at the user table. the passwords were in PLAIN TEXT. that means that any admin or even a hacker that got access to that table in the database would have all of the user names, passwords, emails etc of the users. anyway i decided to not use that script for the login.
