I'm thinking of writing a script that creates a new user with the information that I collect from a "external" asp-page.

When I asked over at vbulletin.com what fields were needed to be filled in a new user I got the anwser:
"username, email, usergroup ID, hashed password, and the 3-character password salt."

What's "hashed password" and "the 3-character password salt"?

As Erwin said long ago:
Salt an additional level of encryption that makes it virtually impossible to reverse an md5 encrypted password.
