Re: hashing passwords
1) don't use PASSWORD, mysql itself warns against it for hashing passwords
2) use SHA1 or MD5 to hash your passwords, with SHA1 being preferred
3) you don't need to know the hash of the password. you should pass the password through the hash and then when a user enters a password compare the hash of the password they enter with the hash now in the database.
