  • You should also stop work on this project and immediately upgrade to J2.5 or J3.x. Joomla 1.5 is a hacker magnet and it is only a matter of time before your site is compromised. Save yourself the trouble and upgrade before it happens. – Brent Friar Jul 22 '13 at 17:42

In Joomla 2.5 user table passwords are saved as MD5 hashed strings. If you are to created a new user, You will have to generated a MD5 hashed password for the user as well as assign the user to a particular group which are saved in the user group table.
