Step 1: Open template register ,then find and delete this:

<script type="text/javascript">
function verify_passwords(password1, password2)
{
	// do various checks, this will save people noticing mistakes on next page
	if (password1.value == '' || password2.value == '')
	{
		alert('$vbphrase[fill_out_both_password_fields]');
		return false;
	}
	else if (password1.value != password2.value)
	{
		alert('$vbphrase[entered_passwords_do_not_match]');
		return false;
	}
	else
	{
		<if condition="$show['coppa']">
		pass_copy = password1.value;
		passconfirm_copy = password2.value;
		</if>

		var junk_output;
		
		md5hash(password1, document.forms.register.password_md5, junk_output, $show[nopasswordempty]);
		md5hash(password2, document.forms.register.passwordconfirm_md5, junk_output, $show[nopasswordempty]);
		
		<if condition="$show['coppa']">
		document.forms.register.password.value = pass_copy;
		document.forms.register.passwordconfirm.value = passconfirm_copy;
		</if>
		
		return true;
	}
	return false;
}
</script>

 onsubmit="return verify_passwords(password, passwordconfirm);"

<input type="hidden" name="passwordconfirm_md5" />

					<td>
						$vbphrase[confirm_password]:<br />
						<input type="password" class="bginput" name="passwordconfirm" size="25" maxlength="15" value="$passwordconfirm" />
					</td>

Step 2: In the register.php file find and delete this parts of code:

		'passwordconfirm'     => TYPE_STR,
		'passwordconfirm_md5' => TYPE_STR,

		OR (empty($vbulletin->GPC['passwordconfirm']) AND empty($vbulletin->GPC['passwordconfirm_md5']))

	// check for matching passwords
	if ($vbulletin->GPC['password'] != $vbulletin->GPC['passwordconfirm'] OR (strlen($vbulletin->GPC['password_md5']) == 32 AND $vbulletin->GPC['password_md5'] != $vbulletin->GPC['passwordconfirm_md5']))
	{
		$userdata->error('passwordmismatch');
	}

Because they could easily misspell it and not know because there would be no check in place. and these users would then have no idea how to reset their password if they are not very forum based people in the first place.
