I have mysql in a redhat machine. I need to use mysql do user

I have a table like following.

+----------+----------+
| username | passwd |
+----------+----------+
| jianping | jian1830 |
| chichi | jian1830 |
+----------+----------+

I want the passwd field not to be plain text but encrypted. how can i do
that?

Not for sure on the exact syntax becuse I've always used myPhpAdmin's
md5 utility but it would be something like
MD5("jian1830")

this would do an MD5 hash
