update yourtable set passwordfield = md5(passwordfield)

watch out: md5 is irreversable! you can't "un_md5"

John,

That was what I was looking for for a long time.

Now I will change my teller password account to md5.

Could someone suggest me how to change all passwords (PLAIN) to md5 ?

My real best regards
Ezequias
