Okay, here's a hint... 4.2.9 in the manual (;o)
Basically, if you encrypt the password, then you have to look it up using the password function, too.

When we use the MySQL internal function - Password('string') - MySQL inserts that string codified into the database, so that people that look for that doesn't know the real password. But i have a client that have a website and in the table of customers I'd like to use that function to make it more secure, but when I do that, I can't authenticate the user anymore, because if i write: SELECT user_id FROM user WHERE user_pass = 'my_var' It doesn't return me a user... but it's there, registered... Is there a way to do that or no... if there is, something give me a hint... My client's website is running in a Windows 2000 server but the MySQL server is runnig in a linux machine.
