Can't you use remote validation? This code should work.
$("#password").rules("add", {
messages: { remote: "Invalid password." },
required: true,
remote: {
url: ".../UVServer/login.php",
type: "get",
data: {
email: function() {
return $("#email").val();
},
password: function() {
return hex_md5($('#password').val());
}
}
}
});
