I have just finished doing the same thing :-) If it is just the password code you want... try the following:

$salt = fetch_user_salt(3);
$hashedpassword = md5(md5($password) . $salt);

And include somewhere the following function:

function fetch_user_salt($length = 3)
{
$salt = '';
for ($i = 0; $i < $length; $i++)
{
$salt .= chr(rand(32, 126));
}
return $salt;
}

You then right the salt and the hashedpassword to the relevant columns in the vb3_user table (or whatever yours is). To then check a login from my own pages (not the VB ones), I simply hash the password supplied with the recorded salt.. if the hashed passwords match the password must be correct.

If you want more it was quite a complicated thing to do as you have to insert in a few tables, update stats etc. but it could be done. If you wanted me to do it for you I could, but I am afraid my time would cost. Obviously though.. the odd snipit like above is free !!
