Use the password function:
mysql> create table users (
-> name varchar(12),
-> pass varchar(16));
Query OK, 0 rows affected (1.14 sec)
mysql> insert into users values ('bruce',password('mine'));
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.12 sec)
mysql> select * from users where pass = password('mine');
+-------+------------------+
| name | pass |
+-------+------------------+
| bruce | 61ce8de3029ff1ab |
+-------+------------------+
1 row in set (0.14 sec)
