rarrrr. Zombie thread! Probably too late to help you, but hopefully others will find it while searching.

I was having this exact same problem because .net's inbuilt FormsAuthPasswordFormat doesn't work the same as php. The following crappy snippet I came up with works for me with 3.6.0 and salted passwords.

ASCIIEncoding ae = new ASCIIEncoding(); 
MD5 md5 = new MD5CryptoServiceProvider();
byte[] data = new byte[ae.GetByteCount(str)];
byte[] result = md5.ComputeHash(ae.GetBytes(str));
password = "";
	
for (int i=0; i<result.Length;i++)
{
	password += (Uri.HexEscape(Convert.ToChar(result[i]))).Remove(0,1).ToLower();
}
