The site uses MD5 encryption on existing user passwords with a given hash to
encode them.
The normal User Manager i wrote has to take the encrypted passwords and
using the known hash decode them back to simple text.

I am trying to use the example in the win32 hlp file to do this, but i think
i have to import the hash used to encode them.
