Hi thirupathy,

I strongly suggest that you don't rewrite registration code from scratch. There are Joomla functions to handle this; and the ChronoForms cf_joomla registration plugin makes use of them.

That said, Joomla stores an MD5 encrypted version of the password (i'm not sure if it's salted by default or not).
