How can I disable password encryption?

[MartinAW]

I'm talking about either disabling the md5hash() function that's fired onsubmit in most forms.

I've tried stripping this function out of the form tag in all the forms, then adjusting the database as such but I just get a blank window.

I'm writing a custom registration system that talks to both the registration system, and a handheld device that's been coded to interact with this database and others in C++ so there's no PHP option. I need the passwords stored in the database in plain text.

Any help or pointers in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
I mean, how about killing the .js so it returns the initially passed password value ?

Thoughts?
