The salt value must be the same as that stored in the database for that member. You also need to use the same case as it is case sensitive. By default all passwords are saved in lower case in the present release.

Hii
Thanks for your reply
I used same salt value as in database and use same password field with small case, even then the values are not matching i tested for 5 different records.
I have a query that is there any changes in saving password or hashencoding algorithm in old versions? I am not sure about the cureent version which i am using but it has data of 2007.

There is a function in the file functions/functions_login.asp that is sued to login the member. You could use this function in your own code to login the member.
