encrypt password stored in a table

thanks for the reference...but how/where do i put that codes of lines ? pls help...urgent..thanks man

you can use the function when writing the sql code, hence you cannot use it in the enterprise manager directly.

to be clear: you need to write the update/insert statement in the query analyser or any custom application running sql statements

so u mean i execute your codes when i create users in a table ?
means at the same time i use "insert users" sql query, i'll have to include those codes of yours together? all at the same time when i create user?

Yes and also when you retrieve them you will have to decrypt them.

Or you could use SQL Server 2005 ...

ic..but how do i decrypt them when i wanna retrieve the password?
isit when i put the codes together for "select" sql query ?
can u provide me some codes ? simple1...like save username and password(with encryption) into tbluserlogin and retrieving them(decrypt) ?

it works fine on the encrypting part...but when i need to authorise the user login, this part im having problem..how can i decrypt them in an easier way ?

you cannot decrypt. you can only compare the crypted value with the supplied password using the pwd_compare function.

>>how can i decrypt them in an easier way ? <<
Did you bother to read the article from the link I posted?

Fair enough.  What are you stuck on?  Please post the code you have so far.

well, i just need to know how can i encrypt a password entered in txtpassword and to be passed it's encrypted value to another label(lblpassword). With that concept, i'll be able to do comparison with the existing password in my database table.

*Since ur encryption style works for sql query, how can i encrypt it through the coding part in vb.net coding?

You need to post in a more appropriate Topic Area such as:
https://www.experts-exchange.com/Programming/Programming_Languages/Dot_Net/VB_DOT_NET/

u mean you only know how to encrypt the password and save to db table ?
so you do not know how to encrypt the password entered to be compared to the encrypted password from the db table to authorise login?

Pass the unencrypted password from the client code into a a stored procedure or the likes and use the pwdcompare function, returning whether the pwd matched or not back to the client.

>>u mean you only know how to encrypt the password and save to db table ?<<
I don't believe English can be your first language, so I will try it again:  There are two options here:

1. If this question is related to "encrypt it through the coding part in vb.net coding" than it should be posted in a more appropriate Topic Area.  

2. If on the other hand you are trying to pass the password as clear text and do it all with T-SQL than you need to follow angelIII and ShogunWade's advice.  Just understand that pwdencrypt and pwdcompare are undocumented functions and are liable to be removed or changed.

So which is it?

In the meantime, you will find experts more responsive if you take the time to attend to the following abandoned question:
