Tried the following in the "modifypassword" template:

<script type="text/javascript" src="clientscript/vbulletin_md5.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
function hash_passwords(currentpassword, currentpassword_md5, newpassword, newpassword_md5, newpasswordconfirm, newpasswordconfirm_md5)
{
	md5hash(currentpassword, currentpassword_md5);
	// do various checks
	if (newpassword.value != '')
	{
		md5hash(newpassword, newpassword_md5);
	}
	if (newpasswordconfirm.value != '')
	{
		md5hash(newpasswordconfirm, newpasswordconfirm_md5);
	}
}
</script>

<form action="profile.php" method="post" onsubmit="hash_passwords(currentpassword, currentpassword_md5, newpassword, newpassword_md5, newpasswordconfirm, newpasswordconfirm_md5)">
<input type="hidden" name="s" value="$session[sessionhash]" />
<input type="hidden" name="do" value="updatepassword" />
<input type="hidden" name="currentpassword_md5" />
<input type="hidden" name="newpassword_md5" />
<input type="hidden" name="newpasswordconfirm_md5" />

</form>

But when a user goes to change there password, once they hit the submit button they get the following window pop up saying
"You have not completed all of the required fields: username, password, and email address."

Any ideas how to fix this? Instead of removing this portion of code is there anyway to make the email text boxs etc disabled so that the user see them but can't change the contents inside of them?

I guess if I could find out where this page is being validated I could remove the email part but not sure where this would be done?
